The United States will create the "most powerful" nuclear forces in the world, said US President Donald Trump.

According to him, now both Russia and China simultaneously want to hold talks with the US to stop the crazy spending of billions of dollars on nuclear weapons. But the only way, until they have this agreement is to create the most powerful nuclear forces in the world, he aded.

The Treaty on Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic Offensive Arms (START-3) expires at the beginning of 2021, and the United States has not yet decided whether they intend to extend it.

The US earlier said agreements with Russia should include not only weapons that fall under START-3, but also other weapons and delivery vehicles that are still being developed in Russia, including low-power nuclear devices using new delivery vehicles. The Pentagon claims Russia has up to two thousand units of non-strategic nuclear weapons.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters in December that Moscow was ready to extend START-3 by the end of the year.
