"U.S. Successfully Eliminates All Declared Chemical Weapons"

The U.S. has destroyed the last of its declared chemical weapons stockpile, marking a significant milestone in eliminating these weapons of mass destruction. The final sarin nerve agent-filled M55 rocket was destroyed at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky, completing a decades-long campaign to eliminate over 30,000 tons of chemical weapons. President Biden praised the accomplishment and called on other nations to sign the Chemical Weapons Convention. The destruction of these weapons sends a message that they are no longer acceptable in warfare and could encourage other countries to follow suit.
