Joe Biden is visiting Warsaw in the wake of President Obama's decision to shelve the missile defense shield in Eastern Europe. Some Polish media have already labeled the visit as “damage control”.
The US Vice-President is planning to tell Poland that America will not leave it out in the cold.
Tadeusz Iwinski, a member of the Polish parliament, says he does not expect any major deals to emerge.
“It will be a conversation about the future installation of different elements of SM-3 missiles system in 6-8 years,” shared Iwinski.
Still, “there is possibility that perhaps in ten years there is a possibility of installation of new rockets, given the course of events in Iran.”
The Polish parliamentarian also said that Poland has more than 2,000 troops in Afghanistan so this is definitely another topic for the discussion.
