The New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) recommitted the United States and Russia in a bilateral agreement on nuclear arms reduction and established limits on deployed strategic nuclear warheads. The treaty, which entered into force in 2011 and was extended after ten years, is now set to expire on February 4, 2026. On the eve of the expiration of New START, American and Russian experts will convene for a unique discussion on what comes next for strategic arms control. The conversation will assess risks, opportunities, and potential pathways for renewed Washington-Moscow dialogue on arms control and nonproliferation. Co-hosted by the Oppenheimer Project and the Stimson Center.
