Kremlin: Russia, US reach deal on new arms pact
None
Russia and the United States have reached agreement on a landmark nuclear arms reduction treaty, the Kremlin said on Wednesday, but the White House said some issues still needed to be worked out.
"All documents for the signing of START have been agreed," said the Kremlin official, who asked not to be identified. The official said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and US President Barack Obama would decide when to sign it. In Washington, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, "We are very close to having an agreement on a START treaty, but we won't have one until President Obama and his counterpart, Mr. Medvedev, have a chance to speak again."
