Trump's 'denuclearization' suggestion with Russia and China: How would it work?
Fox News
Amid a tsunami of early shakeups in the new administration, President Donald Trump has twice this month suggested "denuclearization" talks with America's adversaries.
"I want to see if we can denuclearize, and I think it’s very possible," suggesting talks on the issue between the U.S., Russia and China.
Such an idea could represent a major thawing in U.S. relations with two global adversaries – but beg the question of whether the U.S. could trust the nations to hold up their end of the deal.
President Vladimir Putin announced Russia would suspend its participation in the New START treaty in 2023 over U.S. support for Ukraine. Russia had frequently been caught violating the terms of the deal. But China has never engaged in negotiations with the U.S. over arms reduction.
