#NewSTART was signed 10 years ago today and it has reduced US and Russian deployed nuclear stockpiles to levels not seen since the 1950s. It provides stability and predictability at a time when we need it most. It should be extended immediately.

But you don't have to take my word for it, just ask some of our allies. #ExtendNewSTART
