Obama says to reduce role of U.S. nuclear weapons

Washington, March 06: President Barack Obama said on Friday a forthcoming review of the United States’ nuclear posture would reduce the number and role of nuclear weapons in the U.S. national security strategy.

In a statement marking the 40th anniversary of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, Obama said.

In addition, we will seek to ratify the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and negotiate a treaty to end the production of fissile material for use in nuclear weapons.
