Cela dit, je pense pouvoir affirmer qu'il convient de donner aux Américains, comme ils nous l'ont demandé, le temps de définir le projet du système national de défense antimissile.
That being said, I think it is fair for us to say that it is as appropriate to give the United States, as it has asked us to do, the time to define what the project is that is being described as national missile defence—it has indicated that it has not done that yet—and the time it has asked for to take up what its plans are, not only with its allies but with the Russians and the Chinese.
