Yet the suspension of a weapons-grade plutonium agreement with the United States should concern not only the Russian people, but also the international community of responsible nations. “In the past, our two countries have strived to strengthen our relationship while working toward mutual nuclear security goals. Although our engagement with Moscow faces new challenges, both nations must reinvigorate those values that bind us toward making nuclear security a first order priority. The risk of more aggressive diplomatic posturing between our nations, especially when related to nuclear issues, is a threat to civilization itself.”Fortenberry is co-chair of the Nuclear Security Working Group and serves on the House Appropriations Committee. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
