US and China Discuss Reciprocal Nuclear Site Visits Amid Arms Control Talks
The United States and China are discussing reciprocal visits to each other's nuclear sites, including Department of Energy laboratories and testing facilities, to enhance transparency amid concerns about a potential new arms race. The proposal, initially raised by China, aims to build limited trust but does not constitute an arms-control treaty. These talks have occurred mainly alongside UN Security Council meetings. China continues to expand its nuclear arsenal, while the US maintains a significantly larger stockpile. Further discussions and possible meetings between leaders are expected later this year.
