Russian President Vladimir Putin said he wants to extend the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) 'as soon as possible, before the end of this year, without any preconditions.'

Russian President Vladimir Putin told military-industrial complex figures Thursday that he was prepared to extend a bilateral pact limiting the nuclear stockpiles of Russia and the United States without preconditions, but claimed the United States has not responded to his offers.

This deal is the latest edition of a decades-old arrangement reducing the number of nuclear weapons and platforms maintained by the U.S. and Russia and set to expire in February 2021. Putin argued that"all our proposals to extend this agreement are on the table," but"so far, we have not received any reaction from partners."

The weapon comprises the land-launched third of the Pentagon's nuclear triad.The first START was signed by President George H. W. Bush and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991, just months before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Our Congress seems to be a little to busy trying to crucify our President. Hopefully they will move on to much more important things, like this agreement, soon.✌

What's the point? Russia just ignores the treaties anyway , the US is the only abiding party

Maybe because we don't trust a word they say

Newsweek, stop spreading Russian propaganda. Ty.

Beware!!! Moscow says something but does absolutely different things. Just keep it in your minds

The President just talked about it 2 days ago.

We’ve gotta let ‘em sweat for a little bit. Negotiation tactics.

Nicoteene reduction treaty should follow nuclear one

Trump is a fool.

Well. Trump hasn’t met privately with his boss Putin. So there is that.

Trump left something without notifying Europe, which might be in the middle of war or a nuclear blast. It’s like the Iran deal, ISIS fighters, climate. It’s obvious Trumps main foe is Europe and he’s trying to, for Putin’s sake make us as vulnerable and weak as possible. SHAME!

The thing about roulette wheels is that it's fine while they're spinning. It's when they stop that's the issue.

POTUS realDonaldTrump if this is true, u need to sign a deal while he’s still around. I’m telling you, they still have no idea what brought down Soyuz and the Nuclear Powered Rocket. I know!
