Nuclear Weapon Spending On The Rise<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Global spending on\u00a0nuclear weapons<\/a>\u00a0rose by 13.4 percent in 2023. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As Statista’s Martin Armstrong reports<\/a>, a newly released\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0from the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) shows, the United States instigated the largest proportional annual increase with a rise of almost 18 percent, closely followed by the United Kingdom with 17.1 percent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In terms of spending, the\u00a0U.S.<\/a>\u00a0had the largest outlay last year by some margin: $51.5 billion, compared to the second highest total of $11.9 billion in China. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The total global spend equated to an estimated $91.4 billion, the equivalent of $173,884 every minute. 2023 wasn’t a freak year, either, but rather the continuation of a trend.<\/p>\n

From 2019 to 2023, global spending rose by 34 percent. <\/strong><\/p>\n

As reported by ICAN, a cumulative $387 billion was spent to build and maintain nuclear weapons over this five year period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
