Europe

U.S. President Barack Obama’s decision to scrap a planned anti-missile system in Poland and the Czech Republic on Sept. 17 was a bold gesture that may help improve relations between the United States and Russia. It will also have positive repercussions for European peace and security. Many Western European governments, which had been cool from the outset to a unilateral U.S. project they regarded as gratuitiously provocative towards Russia, greeted the American decision with relief.
