Obama: Agreement to secure nukes within 4 years
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says all 49 leaders attending a nuclear security summit have endorsed his goal of securing nuclear materials around the world within four years.
Obama acknowledged Tuesday that the goal won’t be easy.
He says, however, that the group agreed that the threat of nuclear terrorism is among the largest challenges to global security. He says the urgency of the threat brought leaders together around his four-year goal.
Closing the session in Washington, Obama said leaders made several specific promises to change the way nuclear materials are handled.
