German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius will meet with the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington this month, a surprising shift after the Pentagon chief rebuffed a visit earlier this year.
The meeting will take place as part of Pistorius’ trip to the U.S. for a rollout of F-35 warplanes purchased by Germany, according to two NATO defense officials and a U.S. defense official familiar with the planning, who were granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic.
The talks are significant given Hegseth’s earlier snub amid tensions between the two countries over the wars in Iran and Ukraine.
