Introduced on February 4, 2025 by Bill Foster
This measure states that the House supports the continued value of arms control agreements and negotiated limits on the strategic nuclear forces of Russia and China, and urges ongoing efforts to reduce nuclear risks with both countries . It condemns Russia’s escalatory nuclear rhetoric and implied threats tied to its war in Ukraine, and criticizes Russia’s claim that it has suspended participation in the New START Treaty, a U.S.–Russia pact that limits deployed long‑range nuclear weapons . It emphasizes that agreements limiting nuclear weapons remain important for U.S. and global security, and calls on the administration to keep pursuing these talks and risk‑reduction steps with Russia and China . The resolution does not create new legal requirements; rather, it expresses the House’s position and policy priorities . The main effects are indirect: it signals support for diplomatic work by the executive branch, especially the Department of State and related national security agencies, and it communicates Congress’s concern about nuclear threats to the public and allies . No specific costs or funding are mentioned in the measure .
