"I think it is certainly a possibility. I think it is important today to point out that we do participate in the P5, which is with all the nuclear weapon states: UK, France, as well as China, Russia and the United States," DiNanno said during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, when asked about such a possibility.
He added that the P5 could serve as an effective tool, though it needs to become more productive.
