US and Russia near accord on nuclear arms cuts
The US Defense Secretary said Wednesday that the United States and Russia were likely to agree to a legally binding document establishing mutual cuts of about two-thirds in their nuclear weapons arsenals. His Russian counterpart said he hoped such an accord could be signed at a summit meeting in Moscow.
Russian and American presidents had agreed earlier «that they would like to have something that would go beyond their two presidencies».
The US Defense Secretary said: «The United States was reducing its nuclear arsenal in part, because large numbers of arms were no longer needed when Russia and the United States are basing our relations on friendship, not on fear».
The Washington talks between the US Defense Secretary and the Russian Defense Minister were aimed at advancing talks on arms cuts as well as defining other areas of concordance on terrorism and other issues.
