Abstract
Recent U.S. actions call into question Washington’s leadership and credibility on nuclear nonproliferation. The Trump administration’s irresponsible decision to withdraw from the multilateral nuclear deal with Iran put an effective nonproliferation agreement in jeopardy, and its ineffective diplomatic engagement with North Korea risks an opening to reduce the nuclear threat posed by Pyongyang.
While it is critical to pursue efforts to maintain the nuclear deal with Iran and salvage the diplomatic process with North Korea, the current crisis offers the United States a unique opportunity to rethink its approach to nonproliferation efforts. Is there a more effective approach to nonproliferation policy that better addresses the root causes driving states to pursue nuclear weapons?
