💨 Abstract

The New START nuclear treaty between the U.S. and Russia is set to expire on February 5, with no clear path forward. Russian President Putin proposed extending the treaty for another year, but the U.S. has not responded. Analysts debate whether accepting the extension would buy time for negotiations or allow Russia to develop new weapons. Meanwhile, China's growing nuclear arsenal and its refusal to join talks complicate global arms control efforts.
