Trump Believes The US, Russia And China Can Comply With Nuclear Weapons Reduction

JAKARTA - President Donald Trump believes the United States, Russia, and China can agree on reducing nuclear weapons.

"I think something like that could happen, denuclearization," he said in a meeting with leaders of five Central Asian countries at the White House, commenting on the possibility that the US, Russia, and China could reduce nuclear weapons.

"I think denuclearization will be great. I have spoken to President Xi about it, and everyone wants to spend all that money on other things, things that can benefit the people at this time," the US leader stressed.

"My doktrin is denuclearization, because we have enough nuclear (gun)," said President Trump.

As previously reported, President Trump said he might be planning a denuclearization plan with China and Russia, without providing further details.

"We've overhauled our nuclear - we're the number one nuclear power, which I unfortunately admit, because it's terrible," Trump said in a speech at the American Business Forum in Miami.

"Second Russia. China is far in third place, but they will follow us in four or five years," Trump said.

"We may be working on a denuclearization plan, the three of us. We'll see if it works," Trump continued.

China previously stated that US President Donald Trump's request for negotiations on the dismantling of nuclear weapons with the US and Russia made no sense and was unrealistic.

Spokesman for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Guo Jiakun, confirmed this in response to Trump's statement claiming to have discussed nuclear arms control with Russian President Vladimir Putin and wanted China to be involved as well.

"The nuclear power of China and the United States is completely unequal, and the strategic security environment and nuclear policies of the two countries are very different," Guo said.

China implemented a policy of not using nuclear weapons first and a nuclear strategy to defend itself.

Guoo emphasized that Beijing will not engage in the arms race with any other country.

"Nationalities with the largest nuclear arsenal must truly fulfill their special priority responsibilities for the dismantling of nuclear weapons," Guo said.
