President Donald Trump is suggesting that Washington’s planned exit from a nuclear arms treaty with Russia is meant to bring China to the negotiating table to seal a trilateral deal among the world’s largest nuclear superpowers.

The president told reporters in Nevada on Oct. 20 that the United States will pull out of the decades-old Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty with Russia because Moscow had violated the pact, while China wasn’t bound by it.
