Nuland Says US Ready to Discuss New START With Russia Tomorrow
Victoria Nuland, undersecretary of state for political affairs, told the Russian news agency TASS on Thursday that the US was ready to hold discussions with Moscow on the New START treaty “tomorrow” if Russia was willing to do the same.
Her comments came after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced he was suspending Russia’s participation in the New START, which limits the deployment of nuclear warheads and launchers and is the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the two powers.
“We’re ready to do it tomorrow if the Russian Federation is ready. And we’re also ready to allow inspections,” Nuland said.
