美國近日提出要求，希望能將銷毀儲備化學武器的期限再延長5年，但一位美國大使表示，就算延期要求真的獲得同意，美國仍然無法在期限內完成銷毀工作。美國是目前全球化武第二大儲備國，擁有超過27,700公噸的致命性神經毒劑，如VX、GB、HD、芥氣、沙林及其他類似爆裂物。
U.S. Will Miss Treaty Deadline to Destroy Chemical Weapons
The United States has requested a five year extension to the deadline for completing destruction of its chemical weapons stockpile. But even if the extension is granted, the new deadline cannot be met, a U.S. ambassador says. The United States possesses the second largest chemical weapons stockpile in the world - more than 27,700 metric tons of deadly VX, GB, HD, mustard, and sarin nerve agent and associated explosives.
