Questions Without Answers on New START

Is New START Compatible with the U.S.-U.K. Mutual Defence Agreement?, Heritage Foundation Foundry, February 9, 2011. "The Special Relationship between the U.S. and Britain has many facets, but at its core is close cooperation in the military and intelligence realms. And at the heart of our military cooperation is the U.S.-U.K. Mutual Defence Agreement. Signed in 1958, and renewed every ten years – most recently in 2004 – the Agreement provides for Anglo-American collaboration in nuclear technology. It provides the legal basis for the transfer to Britain of U.S.-made Trident II missiles, which are the launch platform for Britain’s nuclear deterrent, and for the much broader sharing of nuclear information between the two countries."
