On 27 October 2022, the Biden administration finally released an unclassified version of its long-delayed Nuclear Posture Review (NPR).
During his presidential campaign, Joe Biden spoke repeatedly in favor of a no-first-use and sole-purpose policy for U.S. nuclear weapons. But the NPR explicitly rejects both under current conditions.
"We concluded that nuclear weapons are required to deter not only nuclear attack,
but also a narrow range of other high consequence, strategic-level attacks.
This is a prudent approach given the current security environment
and how it could further evolve. "
