Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR)

Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) is a U.S. initiative aimed at reducing the threat of weapons of mass destruction, such as nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons, in unstable regions. It involves collaborations with other countries to secure, dismantle, and prevent the spread of these dangerous weapons and related materials. The goal is to enhance global security by minimizing the risk of proliferation and potential misuse, while promoting transparency and safety through technical support, training, and infrastructure improvements.
