U.S. Spent More on Nuclear Arms in 2022 Than All Other Nations Combined
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The world's nuclear powers spent nearly $44 billion on weapons of mass
destruction last year - or more than $157,000 per minute - with the
United States accounting for more nuclear weapons spending than all
other nations combined. That's the finding of a new report by the
International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. The Nobel Peace
Prize-winning group found worldwide spending on nuclear weapons rose
last year for the third consecutive year.
