While the global inventory of nuclear weapons has been significantly reduced since the Cold War, there are still more than 13,000 nuclear weapons in nine different countries — more than 90% of which belong to the United States and Russia. The United States is committed to spending up to $1.5 trillion over the next 30 years on an ambitious nuclear modernization plan updating all three legs — air, sea, and ground — of the nuclear triad.
