U.S. President Joe Biden has quietly approved a highly classified nuclear strategy focusing on China, according to a report by The New York Times. The revised plan, known as the “Nuclear Employment Guidance,” marks a significant shift in America’s nuclear deterrent approach, prioritizing the growing threat posed by China’s expanding nuclear arsenal.
Although the White House has not officially announced this update, it is expected that an unclassified version will be shared with Congress before Biden’s term ends. The strategy, which is revised roughly every four years, has been hinted at in recent speeches by senior administration officials.
This update reflects a major strategic pivot in U.S. defense policy, highlighting concerns over China’s increasing nuclear capabilities.
