President-elect Donald Trump called for the negotiation of a comprehensive new nuclear arms agreement on Thursday as the existing global framework for weapons control nears expiration. Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump emphasized that the current landscape of international security requires a modernized deal involving both Russia and China to prevent a global catastrophe. This push for a renewed treaty comes as the New START treaty, the final remaining major pillars of Cold War-era nuclear diplomacy between the U.S. and Russia, is set to expire in early 2026, leaving a potential vacuum in oversight and limitation of strategic arsenals. Simultaneously, the President-elect took decisive steps to reshape the internal structure of the United States government by announcing plans to expand executive authority over the federal workforce. By reinstating or expanding policies similar to the previously proposed 'Schedule F,' Trump intends to reclassify tens of thousands of career civil servants as at-will employees. This move is designed to make it significantly easier to terminate federal workers who are perceived as being misaligned with the administration's policy goals, effectively challenging the traditional protections of the non-partisan civil service. The juxtaposition of these two major policy shifts highlights a dual-track strategy to overhaul both international security commitments and domestic governance. On the global stage, Trump’s call for a new nuclear deal reflects a desire to move away from bilateral agreements toward a trilateral approach that accounts for China's rapidly expanding military capabilities. Domestically, the push for more control over the federal bureaucracy signals a commitment to dismantling what the administration characterizes as the 'deep state,' ensuring that executive directives face less institutional resistance from within government agencies. As the transition period progresses, the international community and domestic legal experts are closely monitoring these developments. The feasibility of a three-way nuclear treaty remains a subject of intense debate among diplomats, given the historical reluctance of Beijing to join formal arms limitation talks. Meanwhile, federal employee unions and advocacy groups have expressed concern that the erosion of civil service protections could lead to a politicized government workforce and the loss of essential institutional knowledge across various departments.
