| Excerpt / Summary "And so the Nuclear Posture Review, I would say, is part of an overall strategy to send a clear message that we’re going to have a strong NPT, that everybody has an interest in being in the NPT, that we’re going to follow our obligations within the NPT, and that we are going to try to bring every tool that we have at our disposal to prevent proliferation and to prevent nuclear terrorism." |
