Price said the bilateral consultative commission , the mechanism for implementation of the treaty -- the last remaining arms control agreement between the world's two largest nuclear powers -- will meet "in the near future." New Start, which took effect in 2011, caps the number of strategic nuclear warheads that the United States and Russia can deploy, and the deployment of land- and submarine-based missiles and bombers to deliver them.
Russian newspaper Kommersant said earlier on Tuesday that talks between the two countries on strategic nuclear weapons were set to resume and may take place in the Middle East.
