New START, or Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, allows the United States and Russia to monitor each other s nuclear forces, facilities and activities and, with the signing, will now run through Feb. 5, 2026.

The Arms Control Association, a Washington-based nonprofit, estimates that Russia has around 6,374 nuclear warheads while the U.S. has roughly 5,800 and China’s number is about 320. Mr. Blinken said a straight extension of the current New START accord is the right move because it will enable U.S. officials to continue “monitor[ing] Russian compliance with the treaty and provides us with great insight into Russia’s nuclear posture, including through data exchanges and onsite inspections that allow U.S. inspectors to have eyes on Russian nuclear forces and facilities.” “The United States has assessed the Russian Federation to be in compliance with its New START Treaty obligations every year since the treaty entered into force in 2011,” the secretary of state added.
