President Wins Concessions in Troop Reduction Pact
The United States gains a 30,000 advantage in troop levels as the U S S R agree to a 195,000 soldiers limit per side in Central Europe. The deal allows the U S to base 30,000 more troops in Britain, Italy and Spain, shaping NATO and Warsaw Pact talks toward a 23 nation treaty. Baker argued the speed of Soviet reinforcements justifies the imbalance, with 16 NATO and seven Warsaw Pact members backing the terms.
