Poland offered to stage fighter jets for Ukraine on a U.S. base in Germany. The Pentagon said that wasn't tenable. It all happened the day before Vice President Harris left for Warsaw.
Vice President Harris met with NATO allies last month when she was at the Munich Security Conference.
But the visit comes a day after an unusually public disagreement over a Polish proposal to share its fighter jets with Ukraine —Senior administration officials who briefed reporters ahead of Harris' trip downplayed the dispute, saying that there were"a lot of ideas worth discussing" even though this one was judged"not tenable" by the Pentagon, and noting that talks would continue while Harris was overseas.
Then on Tuesday, Poland announced it would send its jets to the U.S. air base at Ramstein, Germany. That caught U.S. officials off guard. Later in the day, the Pentagon issued a statement saying flying planes from a U.S./NATO base in Germany into contested airspace wouldn't work. On Thursday, she will hold meetings with Polish President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki — as well as with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who happens to be visiting Warsaw at the same time.
