WASHINGTON — Preparing for a July summit on the issue with his Russian counterpart, President Barack Obama on Tuesday said it is "absolutely imperative” that the United States take the lead in reducing the spread of nuclear weapons.
Obama’s vision for a world free of such weapons was the subject of a major speech he delivered last month in Prague. The topic also will be on the agenda for his coming meetings with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Moscow.
Obama said the U.S. must take the lead, particularly at a time when North Korea and Iran are developing nuclear weapons capabilities, nuclear-armed Pakistan and India remain in a conflict, and terrorist groups are trying to get such weapons.
