President Joe Biden will have just 16 days from Inauguration Day to rescue the New START Treaty
Biden May Have 16 Days to Stave Off a Nuclear Arms Race, Preserving the New START treaty with Russia will be one of his earliest missions, Bloomberg, By Peter Coy , 25 Nov 20,
If New START is allowed to expire, a nuclear arms race could break out. Retired Navy Admiral James Stavridis, the former supreme allied commander of NATO, wrote in a Bloomberg Opinion column on Oct. 30, that a stop to New START would allow both sides to deploy more nukes of current designs as well as make more advanced systems, “all of which would be very destabilizing.”
Some pressure, right? For insight into what Biden and his team will do, I interviewed Jon Wolfsthal, who served from 2014 to 2017 as a special assistant to President Barack Obama and as senior director for arms control and nonproliferation at the National Security Council. He was also a senior adviser to Vice President Biden on nuclear security and nonproliferation from 2009 to 2012.

Wolfsthal says he’s optimistic about Biden’s chances of staving off a fresh nuclear arms race……….
Biden and his team will have a long list of nuclear weapons problems to deal with, including the rapid growth of China’s
………… Wolfsthal says New START, which went into effect in 2011, is flawed but shouldn’t be left to expire, because
Nuclear arms control doesn’t get as much attention as other priorities for Biden’s first 100 days, but nothing is more
