The United States is in talks with Russia and China about nuclear disarmament, according to Trump.

U.S. President Donald Trump stated during an interview with the American conservative television channel Newsmax that he is engaging in discussions with Russia and China regarding nuclear disarmament. He expressed his desire to achieve nuclear disarmament if possible.

U.S. President Donald Trump said during an interview with conservative television network Newsmax on Thursday that the United States is engaged in discussions with Russia and China regarding nuclear disarmament. Trump expressed his desire to achieve nuclear disarmament if feasible, stating that conversations are ongoing with both nations on the issue. According to data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri), Russia possesses 5,420 nuclear warheads, while the United States holds 5,042. China currently has approximately 620 nuclear warheads, but its arsenal is growing faster than any other country’s. Trump noted that while China might be less inclined toward nuclear disarmament due to its current disadvantage, dialogue is taking place. He did not provide further details about these discussions. The New START treaty, which limited strategic nuclear arsenals between the United States and Russia, expired in February. Neither nation has yet reached an agreement on a new treaty. China stated at that time it would not participate in nuclear disarmament talks at this stage. Trump mentioned that China could catch up with the United States in terms of nuclear capabilities within the next five years. During the interview, he claimed to have discussed nuclear disarmament with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The expiration of the New START treaty came months after its initial signing in 2010, which allowed for a single extension agreed upon by former President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin for five years. A new extension would require an executive decision to voluntarily continue the treaty’s limitations.

He noted that while China might be less inclined toward nuclear disarmament due to this gap, talks are ongoing. The article also mentions that the New START treaty between the U.S. and Russia expired in February 2022, and no new agreement has been reached yet.
