Abstract

The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START) between the United States and Russia will expire in February 2021 unless both parties agree to an extension. That treaty places limits on the number of deployed strategic nuclear warheads and delivery systems that each country may field. CBO examined what the costs would be if the New START Treaty expired and the United States increased its deployed strategic nuclear forces to the levels specified in the earlier Moscow, START II, or START I treaties.
