Nuclear Negotiations: Back to the Future?

Professor Aaron Karp, Old Dominion University, February 9 2019

Nuclear weapons have not gone away, and the Trump administration has brought a new urgency, if
not a new approach, to dealing with them. The President has met with Vladimir Putin as the New
Start Treaty with Russia comes up for renewal in 2021, the first presidential summit ever with Kim
Jong-un occurred to discuss denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, and President Trump has
decertified the Obama nuclear deal with Iran.

To what degree should past nuclear talks guide
future U.S. nuclear arms control negotiations? Can the art of the deal apply to stabilizing our
nuclear future?
