NATO Allies Reach Accord Over Charter
In Copenhagen NATO foreign ministers endorsed Nixon’s plan to revamp the American European partnership. France joined reluctantly as 13 of the 15 ministers signaled readiness to help cover Europe’s share of the $15 billion yearly defense bill. Talks with the Soviet bloc could ease East West tension and keep about 300000 U.S. troops in Europe. Rogers opened informal talks with Iceland over Keflavik air sea base terms to avert a bid to revise the 1951 pact.
