US President Donald Trump intends to maintain current restrictions on nuclear weapons and seeks to include China in ongoing arms control negotiations.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that this information was published by the Financial Times (FT), citing an anonymous source within the administration.
According to the source, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly emphasized the importance of addressing the global threat posed by nuclear weapons. He considers the participation of Beijing in the arms control process to be essential for international security.
The publication suggests that the US leader may agree at the last moment to adhere to the terms of the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) between Russia and the US, which is set to expire on February 5.
It should be noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin previously stated his readiness to voluntarily comply with the restrictions for one year after the treaty expires. However, he emphasized that this step would only remain in effect if the United States demonstrates similar behavior.
The New START treaty, signed in 2010, serves as the last remaining major arms control agreement between the world's two largest nuclear powers. The potential inclusion of China reflects a shift in Washington's strategy to address the growing military capabilities of third-party nations. In Azerbaijan, such international security developments are closely monitored as they impact global stability and regional diplomatic frameworks.
