Administration to Eventually Abandon ABM Treaty

David Swan

Washington

17 Jun 2001 15:41 UTC

 

The Bush administration has 1)reaffirmed it will 2)abandon the 3)Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty once the landmark1 accord becomes a barrier to new missile defenses. This was among the issues aired at the president's first face-to-face 4)encounter with Russian President Vladimir Putin Saturday.

In the wake of the meeting, Mr. Bush's aides sought to emphasize what they call the cordial relationship emerging between the two presidents. At the same time, officials say there was little movement on issues, including the future of the ABM accord.

National Security Advisor3 Condoleeza Rice says the United States will not let the treaty stand in the way of an anti-missile shield. Speaking on NBC television's "Meet the Press" she said the 1972 5)pact is outdated4. "It kept the Soviet5 Union and the United States from blowing each other to smithereens in what was a very 6)hostile relationship," she said. "That is not the relationship now and I would dare anyone to say that what keeps the United States and Russia from going to war is the ABM treaty. " But Saturday, President Putin called the treaty the 7)cornerstone of international security. The NATO allies also voiced doubts about the president's missile defense2 proposal during his European trip.

In Washington, the plan is meeting resistance from many Democrats6. Senator Joseph Biden, the new chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, says breaking the ABM accord would 8)touch off a new global 9)arms race. "You are going to have a fundamental shift in what every other nation does in terms of building more weapons," he said. "You are going to see China go from 18 ICBMs to 300 to 400 immediately, you will see India respond to them and eventually you will see within five-years in my view Japan becoming a nuclear power."

Another topic of the Bush-Putin meeting was Moscow's trade with Iran. U.S. officials fear Russian goods and technology most recently, a shipment of high-grade aluminum7 are helping8 the Tehran government build weapons of mass destruction. Secretary of State Colin Powell, speaking on "Fox News Sunday," made clear the sides still disagree on this question. "We have to keep talking about this to make sure that we are of a common mind on this and we have a unified9 10)approach to this," he said. "They sell for the purpose of generating hard currency. And we are troubled by some of the sales that have taken place in the past."

Mr. Powell says the administration will enforce the law that calls for 11)sanctions on any Russian 12)entity helping Iran's weapons program.
