On Tuesday, the Czech Minister of Defence, Jana Černochová, and her American counterpart, Lloyd Austin, signed a defence cooperation agreement in Washington. The agreement creates an overarching framework to codify already existing cooperation between the two countries’ militaries. Ms. Černochová assured reporters that the treaty was not on basing US soldiers on Czech soil or on the creation of an American military base in the country. The US has similar agreements with more than 20 other NATO members. This agreement is a testament to the strong relationship between the Czech Republic and the United States.
