Putin agrees to scuttle ABM

Published 7/23/01

GENOA, Italy -- President Bush yesterday reached a surprise breakthrough agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to begin talks on supplanting the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with a global missile defense shield that would be linked to cuts in nuclear missile arsenals.

It was a dramatic foreign policy triumph for Mr. Bush, who was given little chance when he took office six months ago of convincing the former KGB official to scrap the ABM Treaty, which has been the sacrosanct cornerstone of nuclear nonproliferation for nearly three decades. But at the conclusion of two hours of meetings yesterday, ABM's days appeared numbered.
