WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. and Russian officials will meet in
Geneva next month to discuss whether to extend a treaty limiting nuclear
arsenals that expires late next year, the State Department said on Friday.
Russia has been asking whether Washington is serious about replacing the
Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, signed in Moscow in 1991, which set
ceilings on the size of the Russian and U.S. nuclear arsenals.
