European observers note shift on US nuclear policy
The London Economist signals a possible major change in US foreign policy toward nuclear nonproliferation. It suggests the United States may back the nonproliferation treaty, while debates over selling uranium and reactors to Israel and Egypt raise questions. Carter’s pledge to block fuel or tech sales to nations refusing to renounce arms, and Kissinger’s plan to curb proliferation, weigh on the issue. Whether the US retains global leadership after November remains uncertain.
