ABM Not to be Re-Negotiated

February 19, 2002 :: U.S. Department of State :: News

Undersecretary of State John Bolton indicated to reporters in Moscow that the White House has no plans to implement a post-ABM treaty accord when the United States officially withdraws from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty this June:
        “Well, we’ve just been through an extensive exercise with the Russians where we sought to find a mutually acceptable way to move beyond the constraints of the ABM Treaty. And we were not able to achieve that objective and the United States has announced its withdrawal. Having gone through that very elaborate process, I can assure you we are not about to begin a new process that would result in limits on our missile defense efforts.”
        Bolton did however indicate the possibility of American cooperation with Moscow on missile defenses, which may be discussed in a May summit between the two countries.
