Russia has expressed regret over the expiration of the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty with the United States. The Kremlin acknowledged the significance of the agreement but noted that it has now ended.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he opposed maintaining the treaty’s current limits and expressed a desire to negotiate a new and improved deal. The expiration marks a shift in the framework governing nuclear arms between the two countries.
**Why this matters**
The treaty’s end removes formal limits on the nuclear arsenals of the world’s two largest nuclear powers, raising concerns about a potential arms race. Future negotiations will be critical in shaping global nuclear stability and security.
