US President Donald Trump stated that during negotiations with Vladimir Putin, he discussed the issue of nuclear disarmament. According to Trump, Putin is «ready to do it», and China, in his opinion, might join this process, reported CNN.
«One of the things we are trying to do with Russia and China is denuclearization. This is very important. I discussed this with Putin, and not only this. I believe that denuclearization is a very, very big game. But Russia is ready for this, and I think China will also be ready. We cannot allow nuclear weapons to spread. We must stop nuclear weapons», stated Trump.
Trump has already expressed concern about Russia's nuclear potential after former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated that Trump is pushing the US and Russia towards war. When Medvedev warned about Russia's nuclear potential this summer, Trump called his statements the «highest threat» and ordered two nuclear submarines to move to «appropriate regions».
