President Obama on Nuclear Posture Review
Obama says U.S. takes concrete steps to reduce role of nuclear weapons
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
April 6, 2010
Statement by President Barack Obama
on the Release of Nuclear Posture Review
One year ago yesterday in Prague, I outlined a comprehensive agenda to
prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and to pursue the peace and security
of a world without them. I look forward to advancing this agenda in Prague
this week when I sign the new START Treaty with President Medvedev,
committing the United States and Russia to substantial reductions in our
nuclear arsenals.
Today, my Administration is taking a significant step forward by
fulfilling another pledge that I made in Prague to reduce the role of
nuclear weapons in our national security strategy and focus on reducing
the nuclear dangers of the 21st century, while sustaining a safe, secure
and effective nuclear deterrent for the United States and our allies and
partners as long as nuclear weapons exist.
The Nuclear Posture Review, led by the Department of Defense, recognizes
that the greatest threat to U.S. and global security is no longer a
nuclear exchange between nations, but nuclear terrorism by violent
extremists and nuclear proliferation to an increasing number of states.
Moreover, it recognizes that our national security and that of our allies
and partners can be increasingly defended by Americas unsurpassed
conventional military capabilities and strong missile defenses.
As a result, we are taking specific and concrete steps to reduce the role
of nuclear weapons while preserving our military superiority, deterring
aggression and safeguarding the security of the American people.
First, and for the first time, preventing nuclear proliferation and
nuclear terrorism is now at the top of Americas nuclear agenda, which
affirms the central importance of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. We
have aligned our policies and proposed major funding increases for
programs to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons around the world. Our
nuclear security summit next week will be an opportunity for 47 nations to
commit to specific steps to pursue the goal of securing all vulnerable
nuclear materials around the world within four years. And next month in
New York, we will work with the wider world to strengthen the global
non-proliferation regime to ensure that all nations uphold their
responsibilities.
Second, we are further emphasizing the importance of nations meeting their
NPT and nuclear non-proliferation obligations through our declaratory
policy. The United States is declaring that we will not use or threaten to
use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear weapons states that are party to
the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and in compliance with their nuclear
nonproliferation obligations. This enables us to sustain our nuclear
deterrent for the narrower range of contingencies in which these weapons
may still play a role, while providing an additional incentive for nations
to meet their NPT obligations. Those nations that fail to meet their
obligations will therefore find themselves more isolated, and will
recognize that the pursuit of nuclear weapons will not make them more
secure.
Finally, we are fulfilling our responsibilities as a nuclear power
committed to the NPT. The United States will not conduct nuclear testing
and will seek ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. The
United States will not develop new nuclear warheads or pursue new military
missions or new capabilities for nuclear weapons.
As I stated last year in Prague, so long as nuclear weapons exist, we will
maintain a safe, secure and effective arsenal that guarantees the defense
of the United States, reassures allies and partners, and deters potential
adversaries. To that end, we are seeking substantial investments to
improve infrastructure, strengthen science and technology, and retain the
human capital we need to sustain our stockpile, while also strengthening
the conventional capabilities that are an important part of our deterrent.
The nuclear strategy were announcing today therefore reaffirms Americas
unwavering commitment to the security of our allies and partners, and
advances American national security.
To stop the spread of nuclear weapons, prevent nuclear terrorism, and
pursue the day when these weapons do not exist, we will work aggressively
to advance every element of our comprehensive agenda to reduce arsenals,
to secure vulnerable nuclear materials, and to strengthen the NPT. These
are the steps toward the more secure future that America seeks, and this
is the work that we are advancing today.
Sincerely,
David Dillard
