YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA treaty intended to limit the United States and Russia’s longrange nuclear arsenals officially takes effect today. But the oncepromising treaty, signed eight years ago by President Obama, is overshadowed by a new nuclear arms race sparked by President Trump. On Friday, the Trump administration unveiled its new nuclear weapons strategy, which involves spending at least $1.2 trillion to upgrade the United States’ nuclear arsenal, including developing some completely new nuclear weapons. Prominent antinuclear advocates have denounced the Pentagon’s plan as “radical” and “extreme.” For more, we speak with Beatrice Fihn, executive director of the Nobel Peace Prizewinning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
