Russia has expressed regret over the expiration of the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty with the United States. The Kremlin highlighted concerns about the loss of the agreement, which had aimed to limit the nuclear arsenals of both countries.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he opposed maintaining the treaty’s restrictions and expressed interest in negotiating a new and improved deal. The treaty officially ended recently, marking a significant shift in nuclear arms control between the two nations.
**Why this matters**
The expiration of the treaty removes limits on the number of deployed nuclear weapons, raising concerns about a potential arms race. Renewed negotiations or new agreements could influence global security and stability, affecting not only Russia and the U.S. but also other countries worldwide.
