How Many Nuclear Weapons Does USA Have?

The number of U.S. nuclear weapons, including those on active status as well as those in long-term storage, stood at 3,750 as of September 2020.

The last time the United States  government released its stockpile number was in March 2018, and that was when it said the total was 3,822 as of September 2017.

Kristensen had said that disclosing the stockpile number would assist U.S. diplomats in arms-control negotiations.

President Biden had once made it clear that the U.S. has a national security imperative and a moral responsibility to reduce and eventually eliminate the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction.

The United States was the first country to manufacture nuclear weapons and is the only country to have used them in combat, with the separate bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in World War II.

Before and during the Cold War, it conducted over one thousand nuclear tests and tested many long-range nuclear weapons delivery systems.
