US Secretary of State Pete Hegses welcomed his counterpart to the German Pentagon on Monday.
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius was greeted with the Cordon of Honor before holding a bilateral meeting with Hegus.
The meeting comes after US President Donald Trump hosted NATO Secretary-General Mark Latte at the White House.
Trump said NATO members would “purchased billions and billions of dollars in US weapons, including Patriot missiles, and moved ammunition to Ukraine under a nearby deal aimed at helping Kiev protect themselves from Russia’s ongoing full-scale violations.
He said the move should serve as a warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he is serious about ending the war.

“We spent $250 billion on this war…and we want to see it end. I’m disappointed with Putin because I thought there would be a deal two months ago,” he added.
