The United States does not intend to export its nuclear weapons from Europe

Answering the question whether the American side is ready to agree to the export of nuclear weapons from Europe, he said: "No, we will not do this."

“But we are ready to discuss everything that Russia wants to talk to us about.

We take the position of the Russian side extremely seriously and consider it important to conduct a professional dialogue on issues of mutual concern, as well as concern of one of the parties ... But we will not remove nuclear weapons from any of their storage sites, ”Billingsley said.

He added that while the United States "does not demand the same from Russia." 

“We do not demand that the Russian authorities withdraw all their nuclear weapons from Kaliningrad or do something similar.

Therefore, no, this (the export of US B61 bombs from Europe. -

) is not discussed, "the special representative emphasized.

In response to the remark that Kaliningrad is a Russian territory, while European countries are not part of the United States, Billingsley said: "You asked what worries us, this question is."

“Therefore, no, we do not envisage any specific actions that could affect the change in the places of storage or deployment of (nuclear. -

) weapons,” the diplomat concluded.

In addition, Billingsley said that the United States made Russia a "good offer" to extend the START Treaty, but if Moscow does not accept it, then after the possible re-election of American President Donald Trump, the price of the issue will rise and Washington will put forward new conditions.
