It stands for Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.
It's an agreement between the United States and Russia
for both countries to reduce the number of nuclear weapons they have.

to "reset" the relationship between the two countries.
Yesterday, he and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
got together in the Czech Republic
to sign off on START.
The agreement cuts the number of nuclear weapons
that the U.S. and Russia have by about a third.
The White House is scheduled to hold a meeting
on nuclear security next week.

affects the entire world.
