NUCLEAR OPTIONS - Trump's Nuclear Arms Control

"State Dept. official on Trump’s vision for nuclear arms control" PBS NewsHour 3/11/2020

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  The New START treaty is the only remaining limit on U.S. and Russian offensive nuclear weapons.  It is set to expire next February.

So far, the Trump administration has been unwilling to begin negotiations.  Instead, the U.S. says it wants to explore a broader agreement, to include China, but critics fear that strategy, that it might risk the treaty altogether.
