The United States will suspend compliance with the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia today and formally withdraw in six months if Moscow does not end its alleged treaty violations, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said yesterday.
The US would reconsider its withdrawal if Russia, which denies violating the landmark 1987 arms control pact, came into compliance with the treaty, which bans both nations from stationing short - and intermediate-range, land-based missiles in Europe.
