Sen. Cotton: ‘It’s imperative’ Biden modernizes US nuclear forces while China grows nuclear arsenal
Fox News
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., told "America Reports" on Thursday that "it’s imperative" for the Biden administration to modernize U.S. nuclear forces as China grows its nuclear arsenal in what the Senator calls a ‘race to reach a nuclear parity’ with America.

This is obviously China’s effort to race to reach nuclear parity with the United States and perhaps one day surpass us. That would be very dangerous to the United States. Not just because of the threat those nuclear weapons pose if they’re used but their ability to deter the United States to defend our own interests, whether it’s standing up for our manufacturing jobs and our trading rights or defending our partners and allies like Japan and Taiwan. It’s imperative that the Biden administration modernize our own nuclear forces so that can never happen.
