US President Donald Trump stated on Thursday via social media that the expiring New Start treaty should not be extended, advocating instead for a new, modernized nuclear agreement involving China and Russia. The treaty expired this week, leaving the world without a legally binding nuclear weapons control pact for the first time in half a century. Experts fear this could end arms control efforts amid heightened global tensions.
