US discussing nukes with Pak?
Ahead of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ’ s visit to the US later this month, the Obama administration is in talks with Pakistan on a range of issues, including limiting and controlling Islamabad’s weapons programme, according to a media report. Noting that the US is in regular contact with Pakistan ahead of Mr Sharif’s trip, the White House declined to comment on the issue first reported by the Washington Post on Wednesday.
“A source familiar with the talks said Pakistan had been asked to consider what are described as “brackets.”
Pakistan would agree to restrict its nuclear programme to weapons and delivery systems that are appropriate to its actual defence needs against India’s nuclear threat.
“Pakistan might agree not to deploy missiles capable of reaching beyond a certain range,” the report said.
“In return for such an agreement, the source said, the United States
Pakistan would agree to restrict its nuclear programme to weapons and delivery systems that are appropriate to its actual defence needs against India’s nuclear threat
might support an eventual waiver for Pakistan by the 48- nation Nuclear Suppliers Group, of which the United States is a member,” the daily reported.
“At US urging, that group agreed to exempt India from rules that banned nuclear trade with countries that evaded the Non- Proliferation Treaty,” it said. However, the White House neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of the story.
“We are in regular contact with the government of Pakistan on a range of issues as we prepare for the visit on October 22 of Prime Minister Sharif. We’ll decline comment on the specifics of these discussions,” a senior Obama administration official said. MILITARY ENGINEER SERVICES
