Donald Trump announces talks with Russia and China on nuclear disarmament

United States President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that his administration is engaged in active negotiations with Russia and China aimed at the nuclear disarmament of the world's largest nuclear powers. During an interview with the Newsmax network, Trump emphasized that while he views the current nuclear race as unfortunate, he has already held discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping regarding this initiative.

According to data provided by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), Russia currently holds the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads, followed by the United States and China. However, the United States leads in the number of deployed nuclear warheads. Trump expressed concern that China's nuclear capabilities might catch up with those of the United States within the next five years.

In addition to disarmament efforts, President Trump addressed regional security concerns, stating that he does not intend to use nuclear weapons against Iran. He further clarified that he does not foresee the necessity of deploying American ground troops in Iran, effectively ruling out a full-scale ground invasion in the current diplomatic context.
