Trump Wants Meaningful Halt in Arms Race with Russia and China
STEPANAKERT, DECEMBER 4, ARTSAKHPRESS: "I am certain that, at some time in the future, President Xi and I, together with President Putin of Russia, will start talking about a meaningful halt to what has become a major and uncontrollable Arms Race," Trump tweeted. "The U.S. spent 716 Billion Dollars this year. Crazy!"
Trump's tweet comes on the heels of G-20 summit, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and had an informal talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin. A formal, bilateral meeting with Putin had initially been scheduled for Trump's G-20 trip but was canceled in the wake of Russian military aggression against Ukraine.
