answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>The US and other NATO Allies have repeatedly raised their concerns about Russia's violation of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty. On 4 December, NATO Foreign Ministers expressed strong support for the US finding that Russia is in material breach of the Treaty, and called on Russia to return to full, verified compliance. On the same day, the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, announced that the US would suspend its participation in the INF-Treaty, effective in 60 days, unless Russia returns to compliance. We do not currently have plans for INF related sanctions, but will continue to use every opportunity to encourage Russia to take this final chance to preserve the Treaty, and we will consult closely with NATO Allies on the political and military implications of Russia's development and deployment of its new missiles.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 20/12/2018 17:22:22 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
