The United States has stated it will not change its nuclear posture following Russia’s decision to lower the threshold for a nuclear strike. A White House spokesperson noted that the Biden administration was not surprised by Russia’s announcement, as Moscow had signaled this shift for weeks. The U.S. also emphasized that there was no reason to adjust its own nuclear stance, despite Russia's claim that Ukraine had used U.S.-made ATACMS missiles in attacks within Russian territory. The spokesperson also highlighted Russia's use of North Korean troops in Ukraine as a significant escalation.
