Reagan denounces Soviet propaganda on nuclear strategy
President Reagan accuses the Soviet Union of using gross distortions to sow a wedge among Western allies over nuclear policy. He warns that any military threat to Europe is a threat to the United States and rejects the idea of fighting a nuclear war at Europe's expense. He spoke during an Air Force One conference call while en route to Cancun for a North South summit. Brezhnev had pressed Washington to clarify its stance in a Tass interview the day before.
