Según France -Presse, el presidente Obama planea una "drástica reducción" en el arsenal nuclear de Estados Unidos. Un informe de la política nuclear debe remitirse este mes de marzo, y todo apunta a que se producirá una fuerte reducción, aunque se mantendrá todavía una fuerza potente y creíble, según indica el presupuesto. Partidarios de Obama en el Congreso presionan a favor de que el arma nuclear pueda utilizarse como respuesta a un ataque biológico o químico, incluso contra países sin armas nucleares. Otra parte desea que se declara utilizable solo contra países con armamento nuclear, lo que permitiría reducir drasticamente el arsenal.

According France-Presse, President Obama plans "dramatic reductions" in the country's nuclear arsenal. A review of nuclear policy, due to be completed this month, will point to dramatic reductions in the stockpile, while maintaining a strong and reliable deterrent through the investments that have been made in the budget.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates was due to meet Obama on Monday and was expected to present final options on the "Nuclear Posture Review".
Some of Obama's allies in Congress are pushing to change standing U.S. policy that permits using nuclear weapons in response to a biological or chemical attack, even against a country without an atomic bomb. The lawmakers want Obama to declare that the exclusive purpose of the arsenal is to deter nuclear attack, which would allow for more drastic cuts in the atomic arsenal.
