Kathryn Stoner-Weiss comments on U.S.-Russian talks on NPR's "The World"

CDDRL Deputy Director Kathryn Stoner-Weiss commented on NPR's The World on key issues as U.S. President Barack Obama meets in Moscow with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin as part of a broad U.S. effort to re-set U.S. Russian relations. Noting that the U.S. president had no choice but to meet with Putin, who still holds significant power, Stoner-Weiss pointed to a number of gains, including bilateral agreement to reduce nuclear warheads, cooperate on the war in Afghanistan, and address the risks posed by North Korea's and Iran's nuclear programs.
