SANTIAGO, Chile — U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis and his Chilean counterpart have signed an agreement pledging closer cooperation in combating cyber threats.
Mattis and Defense Minister Alberto Espina held a signing ceremony Thursday after meeting to discuss a range of security issues, including military exercises and cooperation in science and technology. Cyber defense is a topic of growing interest throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Le gouvernement suédois a présenté ce jeudi un projet prévoyant d'accélérer le réinvestissement dans son armée, avec l'objectif d'atteindre les 2% du PIB « aussi vite que possible », a indiqué la Première ministre, Magdalena Andersson, lors d'une conférence de presse. Cette décision fait suite à l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie. Magdalena Andersson avait écarté en début de semaine l'option de l'adhésion de la Suède à l'OTAN, estimant qu'une telle initiative risquerait de « déstabiliser » le nord de l'Europe.
