Poland has rejected a US offer to boost its air defences in return for basing a "missile shield" on Polish soil but remains open for further talks with Washington, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Friday.
Washington wants to place 10 missile interceptors in Poland and a tracking radar in the Czech Republic as part of global missile defences it says will protect the United States and its allies from what it calls "rogue states" such as Iran. "We have not reached a satisfactory result on the issue of increasing the level of Polish security," Tusk told a news conference after studying the US proposal.
