US President Donald Trump's administration is focused on maintaining restrictions on nuclear weapons and is actively seeking to bring China into arms control negotiations.
Operative Information Center-OMM reports that, according to the Financial Times citing a White House official, the administration is prioritizing a strategic framework to mitigate nuclear risks. The official noted that US President Donald Trump has repeatedly addressed the significant danger nuclear weapons pose to the world.
"He has expressed a desire to maintain limits on nuclear arms and to bring China into the arms control framework. Washington is deeply interested in involving Beijing in these discussions," the official stated. This initiative follows previous calls for more comprehensive global security arrangements that reflect the current geopolitical landscape.
Historically, major arms control agreements have primarily involved the United States and Russia. However, the rapid expansion of China's military capabilities and the modernization of its nuclear arsenal have led Washington to seek a more inclusive approach. By integrating Beijing into formal dialogues, the administration of US President Donald Trump aims to enhance transparency and prevent a potential nuclear arms race, ensuring long-term stability in international relations and global security.
