The Nuclear Security Summit has made little progress on preventing the production of fissile material that has no plausible use. One way forward would be to establish a norm that such production should be consistent with reasonable civilian needs.

Deepening economic engagement and making progress on missile defense should be central policy priorities for Russia and the United States in their bilateral relations.

Despite the “reset” of U.S.-Russian relations during the first Obama administration, tensions seem to be increasing between Moscow and Washington.

The Iran Project will launch their new report “Weighing Benefits and Costs of International Sanctions Against Iran.” William Reinsch, Lieutenant General Gregory S. Newbold, and George Perkovich will offer remarks. Ambassador Thomas Pickering will moderate.

The ability of the United States and Russia to cooperate on matters of global importance could affect a wide range of important issues from arms control to climate change.

The U.S.-Russia reset is off to a solid beginning, but it is incomplete in many respects; while the countries have made good progress in their relationship, much remains to be done.

New leadership in Moscow and Washington will soon face decisions that will reshape the U.S.-Russia agenda and set new priorities. The governments both countries should not succumb to the political inertia that has followed the Caucasus conflict. Instead, they must show reflection and restraint.
