Donald Trump stated in a Newsmax interview on Thursday that the United States is negotiating with Russia and China on nuclear disarmament. He noted that the US and Russia each possess over 4,000 nuclear warheads, while China currently has approximately 620, but he believes China will catch up to both nations within five years. Trump added that negotiations are ongoing despite China's apparent reluctance to disarm. This statement comes shortly after the expiration of the New START Treaty between the US and Russia.
