What Biden Said About US Readiness for Nuclear Weapons Reduction Negotiations
The US President said the world should strive for the complete elimination of nuclear weapons.
According to him, the United States is ready for negotiations on reducing the nuclear arsenal with Russia, China and the DPRK without preconditions.
Reducing the nuclear threat is important not in spite of the dangers of the modern world, but precisely because of them, Biden noted.
The Biden administration has repeatedly expressed a desire to extend the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), which Russia suspended on February 21 last year.
On October 10, Deputy Head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sergei Ryabkov stated that Moscow currently does not see any basis for negotiations with Washington on strategic stability.
