East-West Center in Washington · The Promises and Pitfalls of American INF-Range Missile Deployments in Asia
After officially withdrawing from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty last summer, the United States now has the ability to deploy ground-
launched cruise and ballistic missiles in East Asia. Many US analysts have praised leaving the treaty and argue that such missile capabilities will enhance US military posture and improve deterrence against Chinese aggression. However, there is still a great deal of uncertainty surrounding potential missile deployments in the Indo-Pacific region. This presentation unpacked the arguments for deploying US intermediate-range missiles in Asia, discussed potential impacts of various deployment scenarios on US-China nuclear stability, and examined the important yet often overlooked role of US allies in shaping American military options and strategy.
