US-Russia-China nuclear disarmament tensions
Overview
Tensions have emerged regarding the resumption of nuclear disarmament and strategic stability negotiations. The Kremlin has expressed agreement with U.S. President Donald Trump on the urgent need to resume these discussions, emphasizing that talks should occur directly between Moscow and Washington. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov noted that the current lack of legal frameworks for nuclear control is “extremely dangerous,” while also acknowledging that negotiations cannot ignore the nuclear capabilities of the United Kingdom and France.
In contrast, China has rejected claims by the U.S. President that the United States is consulting with China and Russia regarding denuclearization. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning stated that China’s nuclear arsenal is not on the same scale as those of the U.S. and Russia, arguing that requiring China to participate in such negotiations at this stage is “unfair, unreasonable, and impossible.”
