U.S. formally withdraws from missile pact with Russia

U.S. formally withdraws from missile pact with Russia The United States on Friday formally withdrew from a landmark nuclear missile pact with Russia after determining that Moscow was in violation of the treaty, something the Kremlin has repeatedly denied. Washington signalled it would pull out of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty six months ago unless Moscow stuck to the accord. Russia called the move a ploy to exit a pact the United States wanted to leave anyway in order to develop new missiles. The UN Secretary General António Guterres also weighed in.
