Good Friday, 13 April 1990
At a joint press conference in Bermuda, George Bush and Margaret Thatcher for the first time establish unmistakably that a united Germany must “have unrestricted control over its entire territory without any restrictions on its sovereignty ”. Bush and Thatcher make clear that a changed role for NATO in the framework of the CSCE requirements provides answers to pan-European security problems. Further, they stress once more that a united Germany must be a full member of NATO.
