43軍事:美俄簽署核武器削減條約
We are getting things started with START. It stands for Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. It’s an agreement between the United States and Russia for both countries to reduce the number of nuclear weapons they have. President Obama also says it’s part of the effort to “reset” the relationship between the two countries. Yesterday, he and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev got together in the Czech Republic to sign off on START. The agreement cuts the number of nuclear weapons that the U.S. and Russia have by about a third. The White House is scheduled to hold a meeting on nuclear security next week. It’s something that President Obama says affects the entire world.
