‘Some good things can happen’: At NATO, Trump talks nuclear deals with Russia & China but his record tells another story

Written by:

US President Donald Trump once again brought up the possibility of a nuclear proliferation agreement between Washington, Moscow and Beijing, claiming that Russia and China are eager for it. Yet his own country doesn’t seem to be.

“As recently as, like, two weeks ago, Russia wants to make a deal very much on arms control and nuclear. And that’s smart. And so do we. We think it would be a good thing,” Trump said on Tuesday, in a press conference with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. 

Russia wants to do something badly and so do we. It would be a great thing to do.

The deal would either involve China right from the start, or Beijing would be brought in later, Trump added. He also told reporters that Chinese diplomats expressed eagerness for such a deal during their trade negotiations with the US. 

The US president made the same point in meetings with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, all part of the NATO summit taking place in London this week.
