President Donald Trump has indicated his willingness to extend the New START nuclear arms control agreement with Russia, a potential move that has significant implications for global nuclear deterrence and international relations. The New START treaty, which limits deployed offensive nuclear weapons to agreed-upon numbers, has been a key component of U.S.-Russia strategic stability since its implementation in 2011. Trump’s openness to extending the agreement suggests a shift in U.S. foreign policy priorities, particularly in the context of ongoing tensions between the two nuclear powers.
