NATO leaders agreed on Friday to develop a missile defence shield to protect the territory of all NATO states in Europe as well as the United States, U.S. President Barack Obama said.
The missile system will involve stationing U.S. interceptor missiles and radar in Europe. Officials have said the 28 NATO states will invest 200 million euros ($280 million) to link existing anti-missile systems to the U.S. system.
“It offers a role for all of our allies. It responds to the threats of our times,” Obama told reporters at a NATO summit in Lisbon.

The leaders will invite Moscow, NATO’s former Cold War enemy, to join the system when they meet Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Lisbon on Saturday.
