Kremlin welcomes Trump’s comments on Putin’s offer to extend the New START nuclear arms pact
Russian President Vladimir Putin offered a one-year extension of the New START treaty limiting 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads amid global tensions, with Trump expressing support.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed extending the 2010 New START agreement on nuclear weapon reductions with the United States before its scheduled expiration in February 2021.
- This offer came amid worries about stalled negotiations for a replacement agreement and the suspension of inspections that began with the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
- Putin reaffirmed the offer at a foreign policy forum, noting that complex talks could involve battlefield nuclear weapons and new strategic systems developed by Russia.
- U.S. President Donald Trump said on Sunday the extension "sounds like a good idea to me," a statement welcomed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as grounds for optimism.
- The treaty's extension for five years suggests a potential framework to prevent a nuclear arms race and supports strategic dialogue amid tensions between Russia, the U.S., and China.
