US President Donald Trump’s team has begun to threaten to bring nuclear weapons on alert if the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty with Russia is not extended before elections.
They say that Moscow wants to delay time. It seems that Joe Biden is offering more favourable terms and she hopes to win.
This is what the Politico publication says.
For example, the Trump Administration turned to the Strategic Command in Nebraska. It should assess how quickly it is possible to remove nuclear weapons from storage facilities and load them onto bombers and submarines.
This is how Washington decided, apparently, to show that it is serious about renewing the Treaty. But it would be better if he did not threaten, but actually went to a meeting and worked on extending the agreement.
