Colombo: Sri Lanka has refused to provide a base for US
warplanes.
Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake told
Parliament that the US had requested the deployment of two fighter jets to the
Mattala International Airport in early March.
The Sri Lankan President said that the US planes were
equipped with anti-ship missiles and were planned to be brought to Sri Lanka
from a base in Djibouti.
President Anura Kumara Dissanayake told the House that we
had clearly refused the US request.
It should be noted that earlier, many US allies had also refused to participate in the war against Iran, to which US President Donald Trump had complained and said that we do not need anyone's help.
