The expiration of the New START treaty on February 5, 2026, without a formal extension has left the United States and Russia without binding limits on deployed strategic nuclear warheads and delivery vehicles for the first time in decades. Russia offered in September 2025 to continue observing the treaty’s central numerical caps informally for one additional year, but the Trump administration declined, instead signaling interest in negotiating a new, modernized bilateral or multilateral agreement that could incorporate China and address all warhead types. Diplomatic contacts continued on the sidelines of other talks into early 2026, with both sides indicating willingness to maintain limits on a reciprocal, non-binding basis while pursuing broader strategic stability discussions. Prospects for a verifiable successor accord remain shaped by verification disagreements, the Ukraine conflict, and U.S. priorities for including Beijing in any framework.
