With the resumption of negotiations between the US and Russia on the ambitious Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) in Geneva, the White House has said it is hopeful of finalising the agreement soon.
"I know that the negotiations started again in Geneva. Obviously they are working on the last few remaining issues to a new treaty, and we are certainly hopeful that that can get done in short order," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters.
Officials of the two countries started negotiations in Geneva yesterday for the new START treaty to replace the 1991 pact that expired on December 5.
When asked if this could be done before the Nuclear Summit in Washington in April, Gibbs said: "I think the (US) President and the team are of the mind-set that if it were only to take a day to get a deal that is in our interests, then we hope it doesn't take longer than that.
