For the United States to recommit itself to the obligation that we undertook in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that many other states undertook, which was to work towards disarmament and the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons, is something that manifestly serves our national security interests. ↗

I spend every day up at the United Nations where I have to interact with 192 other countries. I know how well the United States is viewed. ↗
