START Treaty

The START Treaty, which stands for Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, is an agreement between the United States and Russia aimed at reducing and limiting the number of nuclear weapons both nations possess. It establishes verified limits on the deployment of strategic offensive arms, promoting transparency and stability to prevent nuclear escalation. By setting these caps and implementing inspections, START helps build mutual trust, enhances national security, and reduces the threat of nuclear conflict. The treaty is part of ongoing efforts to control and reduce the world's most destructive weapons through diplomacy and verification measures.
