WARSAW, Poland — Poland’s prime minister spoke with Vice President Dick Cheney on Thursday to discuss negotiations over basing American missile defense interceptors in Poland, a government spokesman said.
The phone conversation took place a day after officials announced a tentative agreement had been reached in Washington this week. That moved President Bush closer to his goal of a global defense shield, but Polish authorities took pains Thursday to stress the deal was not final.
The U.S. plan calls for 10 missile interceptors to be based in northern Poland as part of a global defense system that Washington says is aimed at deterring long-range missile attacks by “rogue” states like Iran.
