The New START treaty is a nuclear arms reduction agreement between the United States and Russia. Signed in 2010, it aims to limit the number of deployed strategic nuclear warheads and delivery systems, promoting stability and reducing the risk of nuclear conflict. The treaty allows both countries to verify compliance through inspections and data exchanges. By capping the number of warheads at 1,550 and limiting deployed missiles and bombers, New START helps foster trust and transparency between the two nations. This agreement is crucial for global security, as it encourages dialogue and cooperation in managing nuclear arsenals and preventing proliferation.
