Obama denies Russia offer on defence shield - The Irish Times - Wed, Mar 04, 2009

 

US President Barack Obama has denied offering Russia a deal in which Washington would slow deployment of a missile defence shield in Europe in exchange for Moscow's help in a nuclear stand-off with Iran.

The New York Times reported yesterday that Obama had sent a letter to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev last month suggesting he would back off deploying a new missile defence system if Russia helped stop Iran from developing long-range weapons.

"The report that was in The New York Times didn't accurately characterize the letter," Obama said after meeting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown for talks at the White House.
