Biden Admin Needs 'Political Space' to Negotiate with Russia on Arms Control, Says Former Energy Secretary

摘要

Reducing the political space for dialogue with Russia was a “critical error” in U.S. foreign policy and will hamper efforts to negotiate a new strategic arms limitation treaty with Moscow, a former energy secretary said during a webinar this week. There’s “a lot of interest” in a new arms control treaty on both sides of the debate, said Ernest Moniz, who served as secretary of energy from 2013 to 2017, at the Tuesday webinar hosted by the Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) where Moniz is now CEO.
