Summary:
The article discusses how our Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, plans to travel to Russia in order to address new and emerging threats with the Russian President and Foreign Minister. The State Department is calling this a “new era” as they intend to limit the stockpiles of nuclear warheads in China and Russia.
Significance:
Trying to curve the stockpiles of Russia and China is ambitious but new arms control agreements must be met. The Strategic Arms Reduction treaty, unless extended, will end on February 5th, 2021. Just like any negotiation, we need to start high in order to get to a point where we feel confident about the national security of our country.
