The Pentagon promises to respond to Russia's violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty
In the near future the US intends to make a decision concerning their reaction to Russia’s violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, Reuters reports.
Three weeks ago the Pentagon accused Russia of deploying missiles prohibited by the INF treaty of 1987. US Secretary of Defense James Mattis made a statement to this effect at a press conference in London with the British Defense Minister Michael Fallon.
Mattis pointed out that this problem is a “matter of highest-level of concern”, and hence the Pentagon is currently consulting with allies and exploring various ways to respond to the violation of the treaty.
The British Defense Minister in turn said that he is expecting a “more formal response” from the US.
