The president of the United States, Joe Biden, will announce an increase in the number of destroyers at the Rota base. The US currently has four ships equipped with the Aegis combat system as part of the naval component of NATO's anti-missile defense system in Europe.

The North American leader who will land at the Torrejón base around 3:00 p.m. will make this announcement, according to sources consulted by ABC who did not specify the number of the increase.

In the last two years, the US has shown interest in adding another two destroyers to the current four.
