What happened: With the existing nuclear treaty with Russia expired, US President Trump has expressed confidence in securing a better agreement. However, experts caution that negotiations, especially involving China, could take several years.
Why it matters:
- A new arms control deal could impact global nuclear security and stability.
- The involvement of China adds complexity, affecting international diplomatic relations.
MNN Take: While the US seeks to renew nuclear arms agreements, the process is complicated by the need to include China, making swift progress unlikely.
