...Eastern Europe." Reagan cited the 1945 Yalta Conference, at which Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin discussed the fate of postwar Central Europe. Said Reagan: "[The U.S.] rejects any interpretation of the Yalta agreement that suggests American consent for the division of Europe into spheres of influence." Secretary of State George Shultz carried the same message to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, gathered in Chicago last week for their annual convention. "We will never accept the idea of a divided Europe," said Shultz. "We may not see freedom in Eastern Europe in our lifetime. Our children may not see it in theirs...
Meanwhile, there are no signs that any movement can be expected soon in stalled East-West relations. Administration officials hope that the U.N. General Assembly session that opens in September will provide the venue for Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko to talk with Shultz-and possibly with Reagan. In the aftermath of the KAL 007 crisis, Gromyko was refused entry last year to international airports in New York and New Jersey, and he decided to cancel his annual U.N. appearance. The veteran diplomat has been included on this session's roster of speakers, but there is no official word...
...same time, however, Secretary of State George Shultz last week was taking a major public swipe at the Sandinistas. During his speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Chicago, he charged that Nicaragua's November vote looks "more and more like sham elections on the Soviet model." As Shultz spoke, U.S. warships, including the battleship Iowa, cruised off the Nicaraguan coast. Their mission: to serve as reminders of the Reagan Administration's determination to stop the spread of Marxism-Leninism from Nicaragua to the rest of Central America. Meanwhile, leaders of the 10,000-member Nicaraguan Democratic...
...negotiating drama has been heating up since June, when Secretary of State Shultz paid a surprise visit to Managua, Nicaragua's capital, largely at the urging of Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado. In discussions with Junta Coordinator Daniel Ortega Saavedra, Shultz inaugurated what amounts to a fight-and-talk approach to U.S.-Nicaraguan diplomacy. After years of shunning direct negotiations with the Sandinistas, Shultz agreed to open formal channels of discussion on improving relations. But the Administration made no move to abandon its pressure tactics toward Nicaragua, notably covert support for the contras and the scheduling...
...often prickly state of U.S.Canadian relations during the past decade, the Reagan Administration has been careful to appear evenhanded about the race. Mulroney may be somewhat closer to Reagan on defense and economic issues, but Turner has good friends in Washington, most notably U.S. Secretary of State George Shultz, who was president of Bechtel Corp. when Turner was a director of Bechtel Canada Ltd. After Reagan's highly publicized squabbles with Trudeau, the prevailing feeling in the Administration seems to be that "whoever wins, we win." U.S. officials contend that despite disputes over trade barriers, U.S. investment in Canada...
