Watch: Trump calls for new nuclear treaty as New START expires

U.S. President Donald Trump has called for a new nuclear arms treaty following the expiration of the New START agreement with Russia. The New START treaty was the last remaining nuclear arms control agreement between the United States and Russia, and its expiration has raised concerns about a potential renewed global arms race. Trump expressed his desire for a "better deal" in the wake of this development. The Kremlin has publicly stated its regret regarding the expiration of the New START treaty. This sentiment reflects the significance of the agreement in maintaining a framework for nuclear arms control between the two nations. Trump's announcement indicates a shift in U.S. policy, as he has also stated that he will not extend the existing nuclear arms treaty with Russia. The call for a new nuclear treaty comes amid heightened tensions between the U.S. and Russia, and the lack of a formal agreement could lead to increased competition in nuclear armament. The expiration of New START marks a critical juncture in U.S.-Russia relations, as both countries navigate the complexities of nuclear deterrence and arms control in a changing geopolitical landscape.
