The US President Donald Trump complained about the expenditure of the United States, China and Russia for the production of weapons, including nuclear weapons. He noted that these funds can be directed to other purposes, Reuters reported. 

During his meeting with Chinese Vice-Premier Liu He in the Oval Office, speaking of a potential trade deal with China, he touched on military spending and weapons production.

“As you know China is spending a lot of money on military, so are we, so is Russia and those three countries I think can come together and stop the spending and spend on things that maybe are more productive toward long-term peace,” Trump said.

“It think it’s much better if we all got together and we didn’t make these weapons,” he said.

At the request of Trump to weigh this proposal, Deputy Prime Minister said that he considers it a good idea.
