The Obama administration has unveiled plans to reduce the US nuclear arsenal by between 30 to 40 percent by 2021. The move would reduce the US arsenal to between 3,000 to 3,500 warheads, a target that critics say remains too high. The administration’s plan also calls for spending nearly $175 billion by 2030 on new weapons production, facilities, as well as modernizing existing weaponry.
