How Likely Is It That China Agrees To Trilateral Arms Control Talks With The US & Russia?
By Piri ·
Xi Jinping is resisting Trump's push for trilateral US-Russia-China arms control talks, since any deal would freeze China's nuclear gap with the US while Washington and Moscow each hold over 5,000 warheads. China is projected to exceed 1,000 warheads by 2030, and Trump may have warned that Japan and South Korea could go nuclear if no deal is reached.
