US President Donald Trump says he wants to expand America’s nuclear arsenal to ensure it is at the “top of the pack,” saying the US had fallen behind in its nuclear weapons capacity.
In an interview with Reuters on Thursday, Trump also said he is against a “one-sided” new agreement with Russia that would limit the deployment of nuclear warheads.
The new president also complained about Moscow’s deployment of a cruise missile in violation of an arms control treaty and said he would raise the issue with Russian President Vladimir Putin when and if they meet.
Speaking from behind his desk in the Oval Office at the White House, Trump also declared himself “very angry” at North Korea’s ballistic missile tests and said China could solve the threat posed by North Korea “very easily if they want to.”
