Biden asking Russia for five-year extension on nuclear arms treaty while also hoping to hold Moscow ‘accountable’ for aggression Gustaf Kilander © Provided by The Independent The Biden administration is seeking a five-year extension to the New START nuclear armstreaty, which expires on February 5. Not extending the treaty would mean that the US and Russia could send out an unlimited number of nuclear-armed submarines, bombers and missiles. Russia is also in favour of an extension. Some experts feared that not extending the treaty could lead to a new nuclear arms race. The Trump administration tried to negotiate a shorter extension to the treaty in its waning days but ultimately failed after Mr Trump s Special Presidential Envoy for Arms Control, Marshall Billingslea, tried to get China to join the agreement, a requirement which was later dropped.
