Washington Must Take a Stronger Stand on Russia-Venezuela Nuclear Deal Author: Jonathan Pearl, Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow

 When Russia recently signed a deal to supply Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez with nuclear reactors, the silence from Washington was deafening. The Obama administration was probably concerned that strong U.S. opposition to the deal could undermine cooperation with Moscow on several important fronts, and that it could give the adversarial President Chavez a propaganda windfall. These concerns are not without merit, but they are also not an excuse for inaction.
