Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1987 INF treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union involved the destruction of all land-based intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe. The treaty did not address the limit of warheads on intercontinental ballistic missiles or the demilitarization of space. While the treaty did involve a reduction in the production of weapons-grade plutonium, this was not a major provision of the agreement.
