Crucial negotiations to replace a nuclear disarmament treaty between the US and Russia were overshadowed on Tuesday, June 23, by a divide between Washington and Moscow over whether China should be brought to the table.

The two sides met in Vienna to discuss a replacement for the New START treaty, which limits each side to 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads but which is due to run out in February.

US President Donald Trump has insisted China be included in disarmament talks, citing what he says is the free rein Beijing has had to develop weapons systems. Last month, Trump pulled out of the Open Skies Treaty, which allowed Russia, the United States and 32 other nations to conduct surveillance flights over one another’s territory at short notice.

However, the US and Russia still hold more than 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.
