A senior US State Department official has flatly rejected suggestions that Washington and Moscow are informally continuing to observe the limits of the now-expired, nuclear-weapon-limiting New START treaty, saying there is no „gentlemen’s agreement“ in place.
The comments underscore a harder US line on arms control under President Trump, whose administration has allowed New START to lapse while pursuing what officials describe as a broader, trilateral framework that would also include China.
Russia was already cheating it for years by not having inspections, the number and payload largely doesn’t matter now with MIRVs and precision technology.
Any pact obviously needs China, who will never agree to anything real.
It’s just feel good publicity if that.
