Rose Gottemoeller: “I believe that the New START treaty is in the national security interests of the United States.”

I am concerned, frankly, if New START goes out of force or is seen as unlikely to be extended that this will deal a significant blow to this larger non-proliferation system that keeps an explosion of nuclear weapons States from occurring…

The biggest issue now, I think, sir, is to look for ways to incentivize China to come to the negotiating table.

You are absolutely right to emphasize that any nuclear use, big or small. It`s the absolute breaking of a taboo that has existed since World War II.

We are seeing new and enduring pressures on the nonproliferation regime, pressures that threaten global stability.
