WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has said that Washington is discussing the possibility of nuclear disarmament with Russia and China, although he has not announced a formal agreement or provided a detailed timetable.
Trump said he had spoken directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping and expressed a desire to reduce nuclear weapons. The three countries possess the world’s largest nuclear arsenals, making any progress towards arms control potentially significant for international security.
The comments come amid renewed attention to the future of nuclear arms-control arrangements following the end of the New START treaty framework between the United States and Russia.
Trump also suggested that China’s nuclear capabilities could approach those of the United States within the next five years. He did not provide detailed figures or explain what form a possible agreement involving all three countries might take.
No specific disarmament framework or implementation plan was announced with the remarks. The extent of any ongoing discussions, and whether Moscow and Beijing share Washington’s approach, remain important questions.
Any future agreement would face difficult issues, including verification, the size and deployment of nuclear arsenals, and the security concerns of each country. For now, Trump’s comments indicate a stated interest in discussions rather than a confirmed breakthrough.
