answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2018 answer text <p>While the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty remains in force, we will continue our efforts to bring Russia back into full and verified compliance. We believe the INF Treaty has played a valuable role in supporting Euro-Atlantic security and want to see it continue to stand but that requires all parties to abide by it.</p><p>With or without the INF Treaty, we will continue to work with partners across the international community to prevent proliferation and to make progress on multilateral nuclear disarmament, to build trust and confidence between nuclear and non-nuclear weapon states, and to take tangible steps toward a safer and more stable world.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 02/11/2018 13:09:54 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
