In a recent press conference at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed a desire to renew nuclear arms control negotiations with Russia and China. He emphasized the need for discussions that could eventually lead to significant cuts in the defense budgets of all three nations.

President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has announced his administration’s plans to restart nuclear arms control talks with Russia and China. Trump told reporters on Thursday that this would form the basis of his first meeting with President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Xi of China.

There’s no reason for us to be building brand-new nuclear weapons, we already have so many,” he said. “You could destroy the world 50, 100 times over.”
