There is an error in the article. The USA ended its #BiologicalWeapons programme in 1969 (followed by toxin weapons in 1970) but continued its (binary) #ChemicalWeapons programme until at least 1990. There was a pause in its CW activities after the 1968 VX Dugway sheep incident.

@JPZanders I suspect multiple errors. The piece says "A 1988 UN report concluded that Cuban armed forces had used VX during operations in the Angolan civil war." I'm not aware of any UN report reaching that conclusion.
