AP interview: Tusk says Bush's assurances on military aid move missile defense talks forward
WASHINGTON: Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk says that President George W. Bush on Monday removed key stumbling blocks in negotiations to allow U.S. missile defense interceptors on Polish soil.
Negotiators appear hung up over Poland's demand for help in upgrading its military in exchange for allowing the interceptors.
Tusk tells The Associated Press that Bush's assurances "are very convincing" and have given him greater confidence in the negotiations.
Bush says the United States recognizes the need for Polish forces to be modernized, and "we're responding."

The Polish government argues that the security backing is necessary because Russian has threatened Poland over the missile issue.
