Statement by National Security Council (NSC) Spokesperson Adrienne Watson on Changes to U.S. Anti-personnel Landmine Policy

Excerpt:  “Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing an important step to limit the United States’ use of anti-personnel landmines. At the President’s direction, the United States will align its policy concerning use of these weapons outside of the Korean Peninsula with key provisions of the Ottawa Convention, the international treaty prohibiting the use, stockpiling, production, and transfer of anti-personnel landmines.”
