US-Russia Nuclear Arms Treaty Nears Expiration, Raising Concerns of New Arms Race
Washington D.C. - The last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia, known as New START, is nearing its expiration date, raising concerns about a potential new arms race between the two nations, according to Vox. The treaty, signed in Prague on April 8, 2010, by then-Presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev, is set to expire soon.
Joshua Keating, a senior correspondent at Vox covering foreign policy and world news, highlighted the significance of New START, a 15-year-old nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia.
The potential collapse of the treaty has sparked debate among experts and policymakers about the future of nuclear arms control and the implications for global security. The absence of such an agreement could lead to an unconstrained build-up of nuclear weapons by both countries, increasing the risk of miscalculation and conflict.
