U.S., Russia seal major nuclear warhead treaty

The United States and Russia sealed the first major nuclear weapons treaty in nearly two decades March 26, agreeing to slash their warhead arsenals by nearly one-third and talking hopefully of eventually ridding a fearful world of nuclear arms altogether.

U.S. President Barack Obama said the pact was part of an effort to "reset'' relations with Russia that have been badly frayed. And at home the agreement gave him the biggest foreign policy achievement of his presidency, just days after he signed the landmark health care overhaul that has been his domestic priority.

Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will sign the agreement April 8 in Prague, where Obama gave a major speech on doing away with nuclear arms one year ago. (AP)
