UNITED STATES AND GLOBAL NUCLEAR REGIME: A STUDY OF OBAMA AND TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

The nuclear weapon is one of the most terrifying and dangerous weapons of mass destruction ever invented, and it poses a security threat to nations today. It has emerged as the world’s greatest security challenge to nations. The rising number of states with nuclear capability is a disturbing prospect, particularly as many pursue such capabilities without the approval of the “traditional” nuclear powers. In 1968, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty tried to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. At the time, only five states had nuclear weapons: the United States, the Soviet Union, Great Britain, France, and China, all of which had a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. Nearly every country in the world signed the treaty, thereby agreeing not to seek or spread nuclear weapons. Despite the United States’ prevention of other countries from acquiring or developing nuclear weapons, a few states have acquired and developed nuclear weapons, such as India and Pakistan, and, most recently, North Korea and Iran are also fighting to enter the circle of nuclear states. The issue of nuclear proliferation is of great concern to the United States. Since its creation in the 1940s through the Manhattan Project, the atomic bomb has been the bane of society in terms of the potential threat it holds for the international community
