Financial Times: Biden Avoids Making Dramatic Changes in US Nuclear Policy

The Biden administration has declared that the primary purpose of US nuclear weapons is to prevent nuclear attacks on the United States of America (USA) and its allies, according to the Financial Times, a British daily newspaper.

On Thursday, the us Department of Defence (Pentagon) released the Nuclear Posture Review, the document each administration is preparing to identify cases in which the United States could use nuclear weapons.

The report said that the USA could only consider the use of nuclear weapons in extreme circumstances to defend the interests of countries as well as those of their allies and partners.

The Financial Times (FT) said the report would be welcomed by US allies from Tokyo to Berlin, who at one point became concerned that President Joe Biden might announce a narrow series of situations in which he could consider the use of nuclear weapons.
