That would be anyone's guess. There are only two nations with the capability to launch a missile that can reach the US are Russia and China, and only Russia could do more than hit the west coast.
There is also the philosophy of MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) that was invented by American politics to consider. Not that the current president would be insane enough to commit to a nuclear response (that would potentially initiate nuclear Holocaust), but the military response would border on genocidal.

Since nuclear weapons already exist in the world, for the US to get rid of their nuclear weapons would be unwise.

The strategy of nuclear weapons preventing others from using them against the US is called the Deterrent Strategy.
