I'm working every day with bipartisan colleagues in Congress, the Department of Energy, and our great military to ensure our nuclear deterrent is the strongest in the world. I will never allow America to fall behind Russia, China, or any of our other nuclear-armed adversaries.

We sadly live in a dangerous world. Russia and China are both rapidly investing in expanding their nuclear weapon stockpiles - America cannot fall behind or allow our adversaries to have a strategic nuclear advantage over us.
