President Obama is calling for the reduction of U.S. and Russian nuclear stockpiles by up to one-third. Speaking before thousands at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, Obama said he will seek the further reduction of nuclear warheads on top of the cuts in the 2010 “New START” treaty with Russia.

President Obama: “After a comprehensive review, I have determined that we can ensure the security of America and our allies, and maintain a strong and credible strategic deterrent while reducing our deployed strategic nuclear weapons by up to one-third. I intend to seek negotiated cuts with Russia to move beyond Cold War nuclear postures.”
