After the United States formally exited the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia on August 2, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Russia and China to join a multilateral arms control pact.

American and Russian officials kept China largely out of the narrative of the withdrawal process after President Donald Trump announced in October last year that he intends to exit the treaty. At the time, the president said he would be open to a new deal that includes China.
