The United States has informed New Zealand it will not renew its logistical support agreement when it expires on June 21 because of New Zealand’s anti-nuclear policy, the U.S. Information Service said in Wellington, New Zealand. Observers said the announcement means New Zealand will not be able to buy military hardware at the same prices the U.S. government pays directly to the manufacturer. Instead, New Zealand will be forced to buy what equipment is available on the international market. The U.S. move grows out of New Zealand’s refusal to grant port access to ships carrying nuclear weapons.
