U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that plans for Poland to send a fighter jets to Ukraine has gotten the “green light” from the U.S. and that the Biden administration would work to backfill those needs.
CBS’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan asked Blinken if Poland, a member of NATO, intended to send fighter jets to help Ukraine during an invasion by Russia if they would have the support of the U.S. and whether he was concerned that it would heighten tensions in the region.
.@SecBlinken: The U.S. has given the “green light” to NATO countries if they choose to provide fighter jets to Ukraine, one day after President Zelensky made a plea to members of Congress to provide them during a Saturday Zoom call. https://t.co/liDkdNCAFI pic.twitter.com/3vHqk6YzQe
