Full post: "The United States is the most powerful Country in the World. I completely rebuilt its Military in my First Term, including new and many refurbished nuclear weapons. I also added Space Force and now, continue to rebuild our Military at levels never seen before. We are even adding Battleships, which are 100 times more powerful than the ones that roamed the Seas during World War II — The Iowa, Missouri, Alabama, and others. I have stopped Nuclear Wars from breaking out across the World between Pakistan and India, Iran and Israel, and Russia and Ukraine. Rather than extend “NEW START” (A badly negotiated deal by the United States that, aside from everything else, is being grossly violated), we should have our Nuclear Experts work on a new, improved, and modernized Treaty that can last long into the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP"

What it means

Trump's statement on the "NEW START" treaty indicates a potential shift in U.S. nuclear policy that could escalate geopolitical tensions. His call for a new treaty instead of extending an existing one may unsettle markets, particularly in energy and defense sectors, while also affecting the USD as investors assess the implications for international relations and military spending. Overall, this could signify a more aggressive stance in future negotiations, influencing global sentiment and asset prices.
