Episode 16: NATO's Rose Gottemoeller says Russia faces consequences for nuclear breach

Channeling Brussels

Channeling Brussels, hosted by journalist Teri Schultz, gets newsmakers, movers and shakers to lose the lingo, burst out of the Brussels bubble and have real conversations about the critical foreign and security policies shaping our world. it's the rest of the story, beyond the few seconds of soundbites that make it into the news. This week's guest is NATO Deputy Secretary General Rose Gottemoeller, one of the pre-eminent American experts in dealing with nukes and Moscow. She says the Kremlin has long been breaching the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces agreement, the INF -- she was dispatched by President Barack Obama to tell the Russians that. Gottemoeller supports the Trump Administration's threat of "consequences" if a return to compliance is not found. Gottemoeller was also the chief negotiator on the "New START" arms control treaty that has just come into full implementation and which, she believes, can prevent a new arms race. Channeling Brussels is brought to you by the Atlantic Council. [Intro/Outro music "Happy Rock" by Bensound under a CC-BY-ND license (www.bensound.com/royalty-free-mus…rack/happy-rock/)]
