Draft Dem Convention Platform Nuke points:
Democrats believe that the sole purpose of our nuclear arsenal should be to deter—and, if necessary, retaliate against—a nuclear attack, and we will work to put that belief into practice, in
consultation with our allies and military.

We will work to maintain a strong, credible deterrent while reducing our overreliance and excessive expenditure on nuclear weapons. The Trump Administration’s proposal to build new nuclear weapons is unnecessary, wasteful, and indefensible.
Democrats commit to strengthening the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, maintaining the moratorium on explosive nuclear weapons testing, pushing for the ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and extending New START.
Just as was the case during the height of the Cold War, it’s in our interest to work with Russia to verifiably limit and reduce our nuclear stockpiles.
We will build on this foundation to negotiate arms control agreements that
reflect the emergence of new players like China, capture new technologies, and move the world back from the nuclear precipice.
