Ohio's U.S. Senators join their colleagues in urging the State and Defense Departments to sell the Abrams tanks to Poland. Senators Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown along with twelve other Senators sent a letter to Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State to speed up the approval of the sale of the Lima built tank to the Polish government. They say with the growing tensions with Russia, the United States should move quickly to support their NATO allies. Six months ago, Poland said they would like to buy 250 Abrams M1A-2 tanks from the U.S. The Senators say they would like a status from the U.S. government to Poland's request before the end of the month.
