Rose Gottemoeller: “It is in our national security interest and in our allies' interest that the INF Treaty remains in force.”

As I stated in my testimony, the Administration's decision to withdraw from the INF Treaty was legally justified but politically questionable.

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

Allies have not expressed concerns with the New START treaty. To the contrary, the response from our allies to the conclusion of the New START treaty has been overwhelmingly positive.

The New START treaty will enhance U.S. national security by stabilizing the strategic balance between the United States and the Russian Federation.
