Plain-English Summary

This resolution calls on the U.S. government to take leadership in reducing global nuclear weapons stockpiles and de-escalating tensions with other nuclear-armed countries rather than continuing to build up weapons arsenals. It urges American policymakers to pursue diplomatic solutions and arms control agreements aimed at preventing nuclear conflict and moving the world away from the threat of nuclear war. The measure is currently being reviewed by congressional committees that handle foreign policy and military matters.
