Target: President Donald Trump and the United States Administration
Goal: Urge President Trump to prioritize the renewal of the New START Treaty, pursue meaningful arms control with Russia, and end provocative policies that escalate global conflict.
The world stands at a dangerous crossroads. Decades of painstaking progress toward nuclear arms control have been systematically undermined, increasing the risk of catastrophic conflict. The Trump administration's recent actions—escalating sanctions, abandoning key arms treaties, and pursuing aggressive diplomacy—have only heightened tensions with Russia and other global powers.
With the 2010 New START Treaty set to expire in February 2026, the upcoming summit in Alaska is a crucial moment to reverse course. We call on President Trump to make the renewal of New START a top priority, signaling a commitment to global security and the prevention of nuclear war.
The ongoing war in Ukraine is a humanitarian tragedy, but it must not be used as an excuse to abandon diplomacy and arms control. Instead, the United States and Russia must work together to reduce the threat of nuclear weapons and build a safer world for all. We urge President Trump to reject policies of provocation and escalation, and to seize this chance for peace.
