Summary/Abstract: Despite Joe Biden’s election promise to reduce the salience of nuclear weapons in U.S. security strategy, his administration is not making fundamental changes to U.S. nuclear policy. It is continuing the modernisation of the nuclear arsenal, including forces important for deterring Russia from aggression against NATO. Biden wants to, however, cancel the work on a sea-launched cruise missile that would broaden such options. It is unclear whether, in potential arms control talks, the current U.S. administration will uphold the postulate of limiting shorter-range Russian nuclear weapons, which is important for Poland.
