Nuclear treaty conference to focus on deterrence, disarmament, US official

AMMAN, 27 July 2022, (TON): US special representative for nuclear non-proliferation said “next month’s conference on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons will focus on deterrence and the long-term goal of eliminating atomic weapons.”

Adam M. Scheinman said in a press briefing “the treaty provides the framework and some momentum for the nuclear-weapons states to work on stabilizing their nuclear deterrence, relationships, and limiting or reducing nuclear stockpiles.”

“The treaty gives the International Atomic Energy Agency the tools it needs to ensure that countries aren’t pursuing nuclear weapons contrary to their treaty obligations.”
