Germany will continue to purchase U.S. weapons even as it seeks to become less dependent on U.S. military supplies, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on Wednesday.
"Despite seeking to become more independent, nobody has ever said we'll refrain from buying American (weapons) systems. This is not the case and will not be the case in future," he told reporters in Berlin.
"We are working very closely together with the U.S. defence industry and aim to continue doing so."
