Danish Foreign Minister Uffe Elleman-Jensen said New Zealand is planning to modify its policy of banning warships carrying nuclear weapons from its ports, which has caused a rift in the ANZUS alliance--Australia, New Zealand and the United States. After meeting in Wellington with Prime Minister David Lange, Elleman-Jensen said the policy will be changed “so that normal visiting activities of allied ships should be possible again.” However, a spokesman for Lange’s government said that Elleman-Jensen was briefed only on steps being taken to solve the impasse.
