Nuclear War remains a global threat. Recent tensions between the US and Iran, North Korea, China, and the breakdown of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) with Russia, highlight the need for coordinated global action on nuclear weapons. In this discussion Ambassador Robert Gallucci will outline contemporary proliferation threats and challenges in the age of Trump.

Dr. Dan Plesch discusses the holistic approach to disarmament within the The Strategic Concept for Removal of Arms and Proliferation (SCRAP) treaty. The treaty offers a draft negotiating text of ‘basic elements’ for General and Complete Disarmament (GCD) with a ten-year implementation period. It uses best practices and can be implemented incrementally to supplement existing initiatives.
