US renews Russia arms deal, slams Myanmar 'coup'

The United States joined Russia on Wednesday in extending the two countries' last remaining treaty limiting their stockpiles of nuclear weapons, two days before the pact was set to expire. The State Department says the U.S. would use the five years of the New START treaty's renewal to pursue limits on all of Russia's nuclear weapons. The State Department is also condemning the military takeover in Myanmar after police in that country leveled their first formal charge against Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi.
