Of course the US will probably not ban the use of cluster munitions, but we do have a strong track record of being as humane as is practicable, which might lead to the curtailing of some usage of these weapons.
"Humane" in this case could likely be decreasing the failure factor for cluster bomblets that hit the ground but do not explode, thus reducing the left-over unexploded ordnance.
