Defense News/AFP: US Weighs Missiles In Europe To Counter Russia

WASHINGTON — The United States is considering a range of moves to counter Russia's alleged violation of a nuclear arms treaty, including bolstering missile defenses or even deploying land-based missiles in Europe, officials said Friday.

The options are expected to be discussed at a meeting of senior military officers and diplomats convened by Defense Secretary Ash Carter during a visit Friday to Stuttgart, Germany, Pentagon officials told AFP.

The talks will focus on Moscow's role in the Ukraine conflict as well as its suspected breach of the arms control agreement, with an array of potential counter measures to be laid out, officials said.

"These options have a range to them," said a defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
