Vance noted that the new New START treaty will differ from the previous version, emphasizing active negotiations with the Russian side. He also added that the main goal of the White House is to achieve a positive outcome for the citizens of the United States, particularly regarding the control of nuclear weapons proliferation.
It is important to note that the current New START treaty expired on February 5. This treaty was signed on April 8, 2010, by Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama.
