Washington D.C.: Trump Backs Putin’s Proposal on Nuclear Arms Limits
US President Donald Trump has expressed support for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent proposal to voluntarily limit deployed strategic nuclear weapons. This proposal arrives as the 2010 New START treaty between the US and Russia approaches its expiration in February 2026.
The New START treaty currently regulates the quantity of deployed nuclear warheads and delivery systems that both nations can possess, aiming to:
- Reduce the risk of nuclear conflict
- Promote strategic stability
President Trump described Putin’s voluntary limits idea as “sounds like a good idea,” signaling a positive reception towards continuing nuclear arms control efforts without formally renewing the treaty.
This development underscores ongoing discussions between the two global powers to manage their nuclear arsenals amid emerging geopolitical challenges. The voluntary approach could enable both countries to:
- Maintain control over their nuclear weapons
- Reduce tensions even after the current treaty expires
Experts regard this as an important advance for nuclear arms diplomacy. Stay tuned to Questiqa USA for the latest updates.
