US-Russia Nuclear Arms Control
  • The INF Treaty Crisis: Filling the Void With European Leadership
    March 4, 2019

    In the absence of active U.S.-Russian efforts to resolve disagreements over the INF Treaty, other nations may be
    able to lead the way toward preventing a new arms race.

  • As INF Treaty Falls, New START Teeters
    March 4, 2019

    The INF Treaty crisis threatens far more than the INF Treaty.

  • How Congress Can Leverage Action on New START
    March 1, 2019

    Every U.S. president since John Kennedy has successfully concluded at least one agreement with Russia or the Soviet Union to reduce nuclear dangers. These agreements have helped to slash nuclear stockpiles, manage nuclear competition, and provide greater stability, thereby reducing the risk of nuclear catastrophe between the world’s two largest nuclear actors.

  • TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress No Funding for U.S. INF Missiles
    February 6, 2019

    Termination of the INF Treaty allows Russia and the United States to deploy new ground-launched intermediate-range missiles, increasing the risk of a new destabilizing arms race. Congress must adopt legislation to prohibit funding for the procurement, flight-testing, or deployment of U.S. ground-launched or ballistic missiles until the Trump administration meets seven specific conditions.

  • Select Reactions to the INF Treaty Crisis
    February 1, 2019
    The Trump administration’s sudden decision and announcement Oct. 20 to “terminate” the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty due to Russian violations of the treaty has been met with bipartisan and international concern. A collection of various reactions from international partners, members of Congress, and former national security policymakers is provided below and will be updated as further reactions arise.
  • INF Treaty Crisis: Background and Next Steps
    February 1, 2019

    The INF Treaty crisis is a global security problem. Nations will need to step forward with creative and pragmatic solutions that create the conditions necessary to ensure that the world’s two largest nuclear actors meet their legal obligations to end the arms race and reduce nuclear threats.

  • Extending New START Is in America's National Security Interest
    January 8, 2019

    The difficulties of getting to “yes” on an agreement to extend New START, much less a subsequent strategic
    nuclear arms control accord, should not be underestimated.

  • After the INF Treaty, What Is Next?
    January 8, 2019

    U.S. and Russia trade blame as they look to develop new weapons systems.

  • Preventing a New Euro-Missile Race
    January 7, 2019

    Next month, it is very likely the Trump administration will take the next step toward fulfilling the president’s threat to “terminate” one of the most far-reaching and most successful nuclear arms reduction agreements: the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which led to the verifiable elimination of 2,692 Soviet and U.S. missiles based in Europe.
