Meanwhile, the United States and Russia, whose stockpiles contain more than 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons, are negotiating in Geneva to produce a strategic arms reduction treaty to replace their START I arms-control agreement, which expires in December. If those talks are successful, they may yield cuts of up to one-third of all strategic nuclear warheads.
与此同时，美国和俄罗斯这在两个武器库里囤积了全世界90%核武器的大国也在日内瓦展开磋商，谈论制定一个足以代替即将在今年12月失效的第一阶段《削减战略武器条约》的条约文本。如果这些谈判都能取得成功的话，那将意味着全世界将有1/3战略核弹头被削减。
