President Trump proposed discussions with China and Russia to reduce their nuclear arsenals and halve defense budgets. During a White House press conference, Trump highlighted the excessive power of the U.S. nuclear stockpile, claiming it could destroy the world multiple times. He expressed a desire to meet with Xi and Putin to facilitate this process, asserting that reallocation of military funds could benefit more productive endeavors. Noting the urgent need for arms reduction, he acknowledged the rising nuclear capabilities of China while lamenting the catastrophic potential of nuclear warfare.
Trump emphasized the need for nuclear disarmament discussions, stating, "When we straighten it all out, then I want one of the first meetings I have [to be] with President Xi..."
He remarked on the potential to reduce military spending, adding, "Let's cut our military budget in half. We’re going to spend a lot less money, and I know they’re going to do it."
