President Trump has his eyes on a new foreign policy prize: a grand nuclear deal with Russia and China, that he sees as a potential signature foreign policy achievement
The President, who has a penchant for big deals, has hinted publicly a deal is on his agenda, adding a threat if it doesn't come to pass."Perhaps we can negotiate a different agreement, adding China and others, or perhaps we can't," Trump said, mentioning his decision to pursue a treaty during his January address to the nation."In which case, we will outspend and out-innovate all others by far.
"The extension of the New START is not a simple technicality that could be resolved in a couple of weeks," Russian ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said at an arms control conference this month."Serious issues must be settled." The 2010 New START treaty limits both nations to deploying 1,550 nuclear warheads over 700 delivery systems, including intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and bombers.
