The Government has close and regular dialogue with the US Administration on all aspects of nuclear and arms control policy. On 20 December 2017, we published the report 'The United Kingdom's Future Nuclear Deterrent: The Dreadnought Programme, 2017 Update to Parliament', which includes aspects of our work with the US on maintaining the Trident D5 II missile and associated UK warhead.
