Examples of disarmament in a Sentence
Though the President Obama administration sporadically tried to restart negotiations, there was never discussion of a presidential summit. The Obama administration would have been very much out of keeping with policy. Past administrations would not have considered a presidential summit before a major accomplishment had been made, and more likely at the end of a disarmament process, the president( Donald Trump) has invented this idea out of thin air for reasons passing understanding. If he's trying to argue that Kim Jong Un likes Kim Jong more, I for one can't understand why he would take pride in that.
We have repeatedly, during a number of years, and constantly raised a question about substantiative talks on the disarmament issue, we see that in the past few years the partners have not supported our initiatives.
Kim Jong Un's speech was a statement of his nation's nuclear weapons policy. In some ways, it was the opposite of a promise to denuclearize, pyongyang is essentially trying to play for time. They will be looking for ways to distract attention from nuclear disarmament or to stall out negotiations.
The disarmament should be observed and assisted by the African Union military and human rights experts.
We view this statement as important to accelerate the work on disarmament ... and for democratic politics to come to the forefront.
