German FM warns of ‘renewed nuclear arms race’ after release of US plan
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFRANKFURT, Germany — Europe must lead the way in pushing for nuclear disarmament after Washington proposed upgrading and expanding the United States’ nuclear arsenal, German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel says Sunday.
“As in the times of the Cold War, we in Europe are especially endangered” by “a renewed nuclear arms race,” Gabriel says.
“That is why precisely we in Europe must begin new initiatives for arms control and disarmament.”
Gabriel is responding to a so-called Nuclear Posture Review released Friday by the Pentagon that details the US military’s vision of nuclear threats and its response in the coming decades.
