Duma s Slutsky expects Biden administration to seek extension of New START
MOSCOW. Jan 20 (Interfax) - Incoming United States President Joe Biden s administration is likely to decide to extend the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), Russian State Duma Foreign Affairs Committee head Leonid Slutsky said. I think the democratic camp, the Biden administration, will submit a proposal to Congress within the next few days on extending the New START, Slutsky said at a press conference in Moscow on Wednesday. We stand ready to carry out the same ratification procedures, if necessary, even despite the extremely short time that s left, he said.

With decades of political experience under his belt, Joe Biden, who took oath on Wednesday as the 46th president of the United States, has made it to the top American political office in his third attempt.
Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania state, the 77-year-old began his political career in 1972, when he was first elected to the US Senate from Delaware state. The new president has considerable experience in foreign policy and was the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee twice in his career. He has also served as the chairperson of the Committee on Judiciary.
Though long and distinguished, Biden s career is certainly not stain-free. He has faced criticism for sponsoring the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which critics say led to the mass incarceration of African Americans.
