US President Trump says rather than extend the “NEW START” we should have our nuclear experts work on a new, improved, and modernized treaty that can last long into the future

Newsquawk Staff ·

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 remarks on not extending the "NEW START" treaty signal a shift toward a potentially more confrontational nuclear policy. This rhetoric could heighten geopolitical tensions, especially with Russia, and may lead to increased uncertainty in global markets, particularly in risk-sensitive assets like equities and commodities, as investors assess the implications for international stability.
