US Pushes to Increase , Nuclear Weapons Stockpile , Amid Heightened Tensions.
'Newsweek' reports that nuclear weapons have gained
international focus amid a tense geopolitical landscape,
particularly between the United States and Russia.
Various studies in the past nine months have assessed
that the two global superpowers control a combined
89% of the world's total nuclear weapons stockpile. .
In late October, the U.S. House of Representatives
pushed to increase spending for present and future
nuclear stockpiles, defense and uranium enrichment.
In late October, the U.S. House of Representatives
pushed to increase spending for present and future
nuclear stockpiles, defense and uranium enrichment.
If passed, the new resolution
would provide $56.96 billion for the
2024 fiscal year, with over $19 billion for
updating weapons stockpiles and infrastructure.
According to a March report by the Federation
of American Scientists (FAS), just nine
countries control about 12,500 warheads. .
FAS' statistics estimate that Russia's total nuclear
stockpile consists of 5,889 active and retired
weapons, while the U.S.' total is just below with 5,244. .
The nations with the next-highest amount of nuclear
weapons are China with 410, France with 290,
the United Kingdom with 225 and Pakistan with 170.
Generally speaking, right now the
Weapons Activities budget is focused
on ensuring that the U.S. has the capability
to modernize and dismantle existing
nuclear warheads, and to design
and produce new warheads as needed, Michael Duitsman, research associate at the James Martin
Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Middlebury
Institute of International Studies at Monterey, via 'Newsweek'.

Parts of Maui , Will Reopen for Tourism,
Officials Announce.
According to the mayor of Maui County, parts of West Maui
will reopen for tourism on November 1, following the
deadliest wildfire in the United States in over 100 years.
'Time' reports that Mayor Richard Bissen said
the decision to reopen West Maui, except for
burned-out parts of Lahaina, was made after
speaking to his advisory team and other partners.
On August 8, fires tore through
Lahaina, killing at least 99 people and
destroying over 2,000 buildings.
Last month, Hawaii Governor
Josh Green said that West Maui
would reopen for tourism on October 8. .
Bissen modified the plan to bring
back urgently needed jobs and
economic recovery with a phased plan. .
The updated plan allows for a section of
West Maui to open initially, while the rest of the
area can reopen at an undetermined future date.
The mayor added that displaced residents staying
in West Maui hotels won't lose their lodging
after already losing their homes in the fires.
We’re assured by the Red Cross that
their housing will not be in jeopardy, Richard Bissen, Maui Mayor, via 'Time'.
'Time' reports that some residents have signed a petition
urging officials to hold off on allowing tourists to return,
stating that the devastated community is not ready.
Others have expressed concern about a lack of
child care, an issue which the mayor said the
county's partners were working to solve.
