PARIS — President Nicolas Sarkozy on Tuesday announced a major new defense policy that would integrate French troops into the command structure of the NATO alliance for the first time in more than four decades.
Sarkozy also proposed a leaner military with fewer troops and bases; a slowdown in the deployment of expensive aircraft and warships; and more money for intelligence- gathering satellites and other equipment needed for home- territory fights against terrorism, cybercrime and drug trafficking.
