The U.S. National Security Strategy states that nuclear terrorism is the most serious threat to U.S. and global security. On March 26-27, 2012, President Barack Obama joined more than fifty world leaders in Seoul for the second Nuclear Security Summit to agree on cooperative measures to strengthen global nuclear security.

Hudson hosted a discussion with officials who have been intimately involved in the Summit process. They discussed the Summit's accomplishments and the challenges to forging consensus on this vital security priority.
