US Eliminates Final Chemical Weapons Stockpile

The United States is close to destroying its last remaining chemical weapons, marking a significant milestone in arms control efforts worldwide. The weapons, including rockets filled with GB nerve agent, are being destroyed at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky, and their elimination underscores that such weapons are no longer acceptable in warfare. The U.S. faces a September 30 deadline to eliminate its remaining chemical weapons under the international Chemical Weapons Convention. The destruction of the stockpile sends a message to countries that have not joined the agreement.
