Queen Noor: We are approaching a nuclear tipping point
![]() WASHINGTON (CNN) – On the eve of one-on-one talks between President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at the Kremlin, one of the founders of Global Zero, an initiative aimed at ridding the planet of nuclear weapons, said the time was now to do away with the weapons. “We have two paths,” Queen Noor of Jordan said Sunday in an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union.” “One is to continue along the path of nuclear proliferation to a nuclear proliferation tipping point at which we may not be able to pull back. Or, to move towards a path towards ‘Global Zero.’”
Noor, head of the King Hussein Foundation, also said that nuclear materials –even if not already made into nuclear weapons — present a threat.
“The danger of those materials ending up in the hands of terrorists or misused by governments is increasing by the day.”
