BERLIN (Reuters) -A plan to allow the deployment of U.S. long-range missiles in Germany drew praise and misgivings on Thursday, as supporters said it made Europe safer and critics warned it could antagonise Russia and spark a new arms race.
The agreement, made public during a NATO summit in Washington, is to deploy capabilities from 2026 including SM-6, Tomahawk and developmental hypersonic weapons with a longer range than European powers have.
