Trump advocates new IV treaty

The proposal aims to replace the expiring New START treaty

Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated the need to develop a new, improved strategic arms treaty to replace the New START Treaty, saying that the new agreement should include broader mechanisms for controlling and limiting strategic weapons.

Context

The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, signed in 1987 and entered into force in 1991, banned the development and deployment of intermediate-range missiles. The United States announced its withdrawal from the treaty in 2019, citing the need for a new agreement.

Summary:

Trump proposed a new strategic arms agreement instead of extending New START.
