U.S. Says It Won't Fill British Defense Vacuum
Washington officials say the United States has no plans to fill any security gaps created by Britain's announced military cuts. Britain plans to reduce armed forces to 375000 in five years, shift troops from Jordan and Libya, and maintain a garrison in Hong Kong. The U.S. will supply British with 1500 mile range missiles when ready, and bases with atomic warheads under American control may follow.
