In the US, they have denied all the talk about the development of nuclear weapons there. According to the official version of the country's leadership, the United States does not develop new nuclear weapons and does not pursue new goals in this area. This was stated by Deputy Secretary of State Andrea Thompson.
- The United States must have modern, flexible and resilient nuclear forces that will be safe. This does not mean that the US is creating new nuclear weapons or pursuing new nuclear targets in the world. No, we are not doing this, the accredited representatives of the State Department accredited at the meeting of the “nuclear five” are quoted as saying.
Thompson stressed that nuclear and non-nuclear countries should work together to ensure that the non-proliferation regime is maintained for decades.
In addition, the Assistant Secretary of State assured those present that the United States had reduced its nuclear potential by 88% since the Cold War. Meanwhile, according to her, some countries are violating their arms control obligations and developing new, destabilizing weapons systems.
