Trump pulls out of arms control treaty opposed by NRA by hunterw
President Trump chose the backdrop of the National Rifle Association’s leadership forum to announce his latest blow to multilateral institutions. In a speech to the pro-gun group in Indianapolis, President Trump announced he would pull the United States out of the Arms Trade Treaty, an agreement intended to strengthen rules on the global weapons trade.
“It was very theatrical. This was a well-choreographed pandering to special interest groups,” she said. “We will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your Second Amendment freedom,” Trump said of the treaty, which the United States helped negotiate. The official cited the possibility amendments could be added to the agreement, though they declined to name any specific proposals they were concerned about.
