Trump Wants To Meet Putin & Xi To Discuss Nuclear Weapons Reduction (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 6:48pm On Feb 15, 2025

🇺🇸 United States President Donald Trump has proposed talks with 🇷🇺 Russia and 🇨🇳 China to discuss reducing all three countries’ nuclear stockpiles and slashing their defence budgets in half.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Thursday, Trump said he hoped to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin “when things calm down”.

“When we straighten it all out, then I want one of the first meetings I have [to be] with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia. And I want to say, let’s cut our military budget in half,” Trump said ahead of a summit meeting with Indian President Narendra Modi.

“We’re going to have them spend a lot less money,” Trump added. “We’re going to spend a lot less money. And I know they’re going to do it.”


Trump said that there was “no reason” to build new nuclear weapons when existing arsenals could destroy the world “100 times over” and public funds could be spent on “other things that are actually hopefully much more productive”.

Speaking a day after discussing negotiations to end the war in Ukraine in a phone call with Putin, Trump said he and the Russian leader had agreed to pursue arms reduction “in a very big way”.

“And here we are, building new nuclear weapons and they’re building nuclear weapons and China is building nuclear weapons and China is trying to catch up because you know, they’re very substantially behind, but within five or six years, they’ll be even,” Trump said.

Trump said that it would be a “sad day” if Russia & the US ever needed to use its nuclear weapons.

“That’s going to be probably oblivion,” he said.


Russia and the US account for the vast majority of the world’s nuclear weapons stockpile, possessing an estimated 10,805 warheads between them, according to the Arms Control Association, a US-based nonprofit.

Golan007:
The trick Russia did on Ukraine.
You mean the trick Russia did on itself?

Because Ukraine never had Nukes. They belonged to Russia. Built and controlled by Russia.

If Texas splits from the US today. The nukes in Texas, who does it belong to?

Chose blacks but destroyed black nations through USAID.

Many black people were killed by USAID funded Boko Haram but sure we should be grateful he chose an Indian woman as VP.

You sound really stupid.

Trust America at your own detriment. Anyway, I don't see China slowing down until it catches up and overtake the US in nuclear weapons stockpile

You sound quite dense.

Appointments are not given by race or ethnicity the way you do it here in the shit hole, it's solely by merit. It's called meritocracy.

Really really stupid and dense.

Such people don't think beyond their nose, but follow the narrative of the mainstream media.
Don't be surprised if he supports APC.

Trump sounds very funny , but at least he knows what the three countries are capable of, one comedian told him Putin is afriad of him so he should command Putin to withdraw from Ukraine , don't think he believed what that comedian said

With all the noise he has been making, he forgot to sanction Russia and China, knowing well they won't comply.
Overrated.

Trump should go and rest. Nobody will stop uranium enrichment for the purpose of developing weapons of mass destruction. Even if for anything - those countries need those weapons to scare terrorists and enemies.
