German General On Military Consequences Of Brexit
A senior German general has confirmed his country will continue to work with Britain on defence after last week's Brexit vote, but says there are a number of questions the allies need to resolve.
Lieutenant General Carsten Jacobson's remarks came during a meeting of senior officers in London, the Land Warfare Conference.
He told Forces TV:
"We will continue our cooperation... with the British Armed Forces, and close cooperation in NATO as we have before. Everything else we have to look at."
Lt. Gen. Jacobson also said that it will be made very clear at the Warsaw Summit next week exactly what the political necessities are for the alliance, what the military consequences are that need to be taken, and how certain areas, such as the engagement in Afghanistan, have to be dealt with in future.
