Extending New START is a good start for Biden Eric Gomez January 28 President Joe Biden signs his first executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House on Jan. 20, 2021. (Evan Vucci/AP) The news that the Biden administration will seek a five-year extension of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or New START, is a welcome change from the Trump administration’s assault on nuclear arms control. But the Biden team should not be afraid to keep going and push arms control further. Extending New START is an important win for U.S.-Russia strategic stability, which has frayed due to increasing animosity in the relationship. The bilateral agreement places limitations on the number of strategic nuclear warheads and delivery systems for both countries, but just as importantly contains provisions for inspections and information sharing that allow the two countries to keep tabs on one another’s nuclear arsenals and verify that the other is complying with the treaty.
Will New START be a new beginning in global denuclearization?
Presidents Biden and Putin have quickly agreed to continue limiting their nuclear weapons. But, as Teri Schultz reports, Washington may not be able to count on the Kremlin to rein in Beijing s burgeoning arsenal.
Some arms experts believe Putin is unlikely to use any pressure on China
US President Joe Biden hadn t even been in office a full day when he moved to make up for lost time in preserving the only remaining pact limiting the number of US and Russian strategic nuclear weapons. Russia responded in kind with almost immediate approval of the New START extension in the Russian Duma on Wednesday.

Both houses of Russia s Parliament ratified the New START nuclear arms control treaty with the United States on Wednesday one day after the two countries agreed in principle to extend the treaty by five years during a phone call between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Given that the extension does not need approval from lawmakers in the US, the timely efforts from the two sides have literally breathed new life into the last nuclear arms control treaty between the world s two biggest nuclear powers before it was due to expire on Feb 5. This will, in turn, inject confidence in the international nuclear disarmament regime.
Universities in collusion with nuclear industry
U.S. universities have continued to build connections to the U.S. nuclear weapons complex. Although students and faculty have opposed university participation in nuclear weapons research and development at various points in the last 70 years, such participation continues.
An ICAN report
Universities across the United States are identified in this report for activities ranging from directly managing laboratories that design nuclear weapons to recruiting and training the next generation of nuclear weapons scientists. Much of universities’ nuclear weapons work is kept secret from students and faculty by classified research policies and undisclosed contracts with the Defense Department and the Energy Department.
