The United States will begin stationing longrange missiles in Germany from 2026. Washington and Berlin say the deployment cements their commitment to NATO and European defense. The agreement includes Tomahawk, SM6, and hypersonic missiles.

The weapons are nuclearcapable and have a range of more than two thousand kilometers. They were banned under a treaty with Russia until the US withdrew from that treaty five years ago.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz welcomed the decision.
