Sputnik News, Washington, September 24 - Brent Christensen, Acting Deputy Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Affairs, stated that the US intends to reclaim its leading position in the global nuclear energy field and surpass Russia and China in this area.

Christensen said at the New York Nuclear Energy Summit: "Since 2017, 87% of new nuclear reactors have been built according to projects from Russia or China. This is a worrying signal. The US and its partners must reclaim the leadership and prove their ability to surpass competitors."
