EU must be part of any future US-Russia nuclear missile treaty: French President Macron
Saturday, 30th November 2019
French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that European countries ought to be engaged with any discussions to produce another agreement constraining mid-go atomic rockets held by the US and Russia after a milestone Cold War-period accord self-destructed for the current year.
"We can't simply satisfy ourselves with two-sided settlements," Macron said after chats with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in Paris.
Washington and Moscow left the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) arrangement in August after each blamed the other for abusing the conditions of the agreement.
Russia has approached the US and other NATO part to execute a ban on sending medium-run rockets; something Stoltenberg has so far precluded.
Be that as it may, Macron has made no mystery of his desire to draw in with Russian President Vladimir Putin on a scope of questions, saying he would raise the issue at a NATO meeting in London one week from now.
"We need a clear, powerful and requesting exchange with Russia, with neither naivety nor lack of concern," Macron said at a public interview close by Stoltenberg at the Elysee Palace.
"An agreement that would supplant the INF... requires the inclusion of Europeans," he said. "It's an issue of the security of Europe."
