WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. is encouraged by Russia's willingness to discuss ways to defend against possible missile attacks from nations armed with nuclear weapons, White House press secretary Tony Snow said Sunday.
Yet he sidestepped a suggestion by the Russian foreign minister that the U.S. freeze plans for missile defense installations in eastern Europe during the negotiations.
"Well, number one, deployment is something that's not going to take place for a while. What we're talking about is the best way to protect Europe," Snow said.
