To get a good answer, it would be better to ask a more
specific question. Are you talking about disarmament issues today or at some point in
the past? I will talk about the present because your question is in the present
tense.
Right now, disarmament is not a very big issue for
the United States. The US does want other countries to engage in nuclear disarmament if
(like North Korea) they have their nuclear weapons in violation of international
agreements. However, there is little talk of the US itself doing any real nuclear
disarmament. There has been an issue over cluster bombs and land mines. The US has
declined to participate in a treaty banning anti-personnel land mines and one that
prohibits the use of cluster bombs.
During the later stages
of the Cold War, disarmament was much more of an issue than it is
now.
