Previously, the U.S. has kept the number of nuclear weapons it has a secret. This is no longer the case. The Obama administration has released formerly top secret records of the number of weapons it has had since 1962. We currently possess 5,113 nuclear warheads. Some are long range weapons and some are short range weapons.
President Obama feels that being transparent will help foster confidence in the United States campaign to reduce nuclear weapons around the world. The U.S. has been working with Russia to dismantle a number of nuclear weapons. We are also a member of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
