U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and her Polish counterpart Radoslaw Sikorski failed to clinch a deal on missile defense in talks here on Monday, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
However, the United States will continue to be working on securing the deal, McCormack said.
Earlier this month, the United States and Poland reached a "tentative agreement" on the U.S. plans to deploy missile interceptors in Poland. The tentative deal is waiting for the final approval from the Polish government.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will visit the Czech Republic this week to sign a agreement on the installation of a radar base on the Czech soil.
The United States has planned to build a radar base at the Brdy military district, some 90 kilometers southwest of the Czech capital Prague, along with an interceptor missile base in Poland.
