“ I welcomed more than 50 leaders from around the world to make sure we’re working together to meet one of the greatest threats to global security—terrorists getting their hands on a weapon of mass destruction, like a nuclear weapon. ”

“ And if they ever got hold of a nuclear weapon or nuclear material, we have no doubt they’d use it. That’s why we’ve been leading a global effort to secure the world’s nuclear materials. And with summits like this, we’ve made important progress. Working with other nations, we have removed or secured enough nuclear material for more than 150 nuclear weapons—material that will now never fall into the hands of terrorists. ”
Barack Obama,

“ But every day, our dedicated professionals — military, diplomatic, intelligence, counterterrorism, homeland security, law enforcement, nuclear experts — are working to protect us. Because of the progress we made this week, and over recent years, more of the world’s nuclear material is secure. It’s harder for terrorists to get it. ”
