Reuters: U.S. and Russia want a new treaty on nuclear weapons: Trump

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the United States and Russia wanted to reach a new treaty agreement on nuclear weapons.

“Frankly, the whole situation with nuclear is not a good situation,” Trump said ahead of NATO leaders summit.

“We ended the treaty because it wasn’t being adhered to by the other side. But they want to make a treaty and so do we and I think it would be a great thing. I think it’s one of the most important things we can do, frankly.”

Trump said China was interested in joining the talks.
