President Trump Calls for New Nuclear Pact with Russia Following Treaty Expiration
President Trump has announced his intention to negotiate a new strategic-arms treaty with Russia after the expiration of the previous major nuclear agreement. This announcement comes amid a backdrop of warming relations between the U.S. and Russia, as evidenced by the recent agreement to reestablish high-level military dialogue. The previous treaty, which was a cornerstone of nuclear arms control, lapsed without a replacement, raising concerns about the future of nuclear arms regulation. President Trump has not yet detailed how he plans to address the nuclear capabilities of Russia, China, and the U.S. in the proposed new treaty.
