WASHINGTON - The United States on Thursday again invited China to talks on arms control, saying it saw an opening with Beijing on three-way negotiations with Russia despite disagreements.

President Donald Trump's administration has been demanding that a rising China take part in talks on a successor to the New Start treaty, which caps the nuclear warheads of Cold War-era superpowers the United States and Russia. But China on Wednesday said it was willing to participate in arms control negotiations with the United States - with the major caveat that Washington reduce its arsenal to the much smaller size of Beijing.

The United States nonetheless saw the glass as half-full and seized on the statement, saying that Mr Marshall Billingslea, the US negotiator, would invite China to talks to follow up.
