DTN News - DEFENSE NEWS: Panetta, Hammond Discuss Strategy In Pentagon Meeting
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - January 6, 2012: Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and British Defense Secretary Phillip Hammond talked defense strategy and the way ahead during a meeting yesterday at the Pentagon.
It was Panetta's first meeting with Hammond, and it came following President Barack Obama's announcement of the new U.S. strategic defense guidance.
Officials will use the guidance to set spending priorities in the president's fiscal 2013 defense budget request. The aim is to set priorities in a constrained fiscal environment, as the department plans to trim $487 billion from the budget over the next 10 years.
