The Biden administration is looking to engage with Russia and China on nuclear arms control as the United States faces two near-peer nuclear powers for the first time in history.
At this moment, Russia has walked away from the New START treaty, which puts limits on the number of nuclear weapons it or the U.S. can have. The People’s Republic of China has “thus far opted not to come to the table for substantive dialogue on arms control,” according to national security adviser Jake Sullivan.Sullivan laid out the administration’s stance on how to reengage and convince Chinese and Russian leaders at the 2023 Arms Control Association annual meeting on Friday.
The New START treaty was the only agreement left regulating the world’s two largest nuclear arsenals, but Russian President Vladimir Putin announced he was suspending his country's participation in, but not withdrawing from, it on Feb. 21. The treaty, which was initially signed in 2010, was extended just days before its expiration in February 2021 for another five years.
