Trump’s nuclear arms control push with Russia hinges on China
President Trump’s administration has recently expressed interest in negotiating a new trilateral nuclear arms control agreement involving the United States, Russia, and China. The push for such an agreement comes as the current U.S.-Russia New START treaty is set to expire in February 2021. The U.S. has suggested that China should also be a part of any new agreement due to its increasing nuclear capabilities.
The U.S. has long maintained that China’s nuclear arsenal should be included in any future arms control discussions, arguing that Beijing’s significant nuclear buildup warrants its involvement in multilateral agreements. China, on the other hand, has repeatedly rejected the idea, stating that its nuclear arsenal is far smaller compared to those of the U.S. and Russia and that it has a “no first use” policy regarding nuclear weapons.
Russia has shown openness to the idea of a trilateral agreement, having previously expressed interest in discussing arms control with China included. However, Moscow has also emphasized that any agreement should be based on equal terms among all parties involved.
The U.S.’s proposal to involve China in nuclear arms control talks has the potential to reshape the global nuclear arms control landscape. As the three countries with the largest nuclear arsenals, any agreement between them would have significant implications for international security and strategic stability.
The success of Trump’s nuclear arms control push with Russia, hinging on the involvement of China, remains uncertain as all three countries have differing perspectives and interests on the matter.
