In just one week, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States. Please join Noam Chomsky, Daniel Ellsberg, Setsuko Thurlow, Oliver Stone, and many others in signing our Open Letter to President-elect Trump, calling on him “to choose the course of negotiations for a nuclear weapons-free world.”
The Open Letter advises Trump of the U.S. obligation under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to negotiate in good faith for an end to the nuclear arms race and for nuclear disarmament. It explains that nuclear deterrence is based upon on the willingness of political leaders to act rationally under all circumstances, even those of extreme stress. It goes on to say that nuclear proliferation and a renewed nuclear arms race would both make for a far more dangerous world.
As President-elect Trump prepares to take office, let’s send him a strong message
that nuclear disarmament must be on the agenda.
