Complicating matters is the Trump tweet, which comes a day after he met with a host of military officials involved in the U.S. nuclear program. While the message was vague, any increase in the U.S. nuclear arsenal “would be a radical departure from what the bipartisan trend in Washington has been since the end of the Cold War,” said Kingston Reif, director for Disarmament and Threat Reduction Policy at the Arms Control Association. “Every president since the end of the Cold War has reduced the size of the nuclear arsenal,” he said, noting that any change in that policy would be “a very concerning and destabilizing symbol for the rest of the world about the U.S. commitment to reducing nuclear weapons. The Russians are certainly not growing the size of their arsenal.”
