これはつまり、今後30年間で1兆ドル以上の投資を意味する。また今回のNPRは、「低出力オプションをも含む柔軟な米国の核オプションを拡大することは、地域侵略に対する信頼性のある抑止力の維持にとって重要」であり、これは「核のハードル」を引き上げる戦略であると記している。

BERLIN | GENEVA (IDN) – A new document that outlines U.S. nuclear policy, strategy, capabilities and force posture for the next five to ten years proclaims that the Trump Administration does not intend to ratify a global treaty banning nuclear weapons tests.

The document, titled 2018 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR), proclaims that “the United States does not support the ratification of the CTBT.” But the U.S. will continue to support the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO).
