Wednesday Briefing: The U.S.'s Secret Nuclear Strategy
Briefly

President Biden has approved a highly classified nuclear plan that shifts America’s deterrent strategy to respond to the rapid expansion of China’s nuclear arsenal, which is expected to challenge those of the U.S. and Russia in the coming decade.
The new Nuclear Employment Guidance document is deeply classified, with only a few hard copies in circulation among select officials, illustrating the sensitive nature of U.S. nuclear strategy amid evolving global threats.
Recent geopolitical dynamics, particularly the emerging collaboration between Russia and China coupled with North Korea and Iran supplying arms for the Ukraine war, are reshaping U.S. nuclear strategy.
The forthcoming unclassified notification to Congress regarding the new nuclear strategy represents a significant shift in the U.S. approach, signaling that future leaders will face a much more volatile nuclear environment than in the recent past.
