Abstract

Due to the pandemic and the acute social crisis in the US such nuclear policy issues as the New START extension, the Iranian nuclear program limitation, the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula were not in the focus of attention of Congress in 2020. Although Democrats, unlike Republicans, regularly took the legislative initiative in the arms control area. The 2020 presidential election outcome has led to the change of the US nuclear policy course. That means increased bipartisan confrontation on the arms control issues.
