US President Donald Trump may have inadvertently revealed that Washington is violating a strategic arms reduction treaty with Moscow by boasting about America’s supposed nuclear supremacy, a senior Russian lawmaker has said.<\/p>\n

Writing on Truth Social on Thursday, Trump declared<\/a> that “the United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country,”<\/em> adding that “Russia is second, and China is a distant third.”<\/em> The statement appeared to contradict the parity limits established under the New START treaty, said Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the State Duma’s Defense Committee.<\/p>\n

“Does Trump mean that they have been deceiving us all this time?”<\/em> Kartapolov asked. “If so, we were absolutely right to continue developing our advanced weapons.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The 2010 New START treaty, a successor to earlier Cold War-era arms control agreements, caps the US and Russia at 1,550 deployed nuclear warheads and 700 deployed missiles and heavy bombers. It also limits total deployed and non-deployed nuclear-capable platforms, ensuring strategic balance between the two powers.<\/p>\n

Trump’s remarks came as part of a statement announcing new American nuclear weapons testing, though it remained unclear whether he referred to routine missile carrier trials or a resumption of underground explosive tests. Moscow has warned<\/a> that if Washington abandons the informal moratorium on nuclear detonations that has remained in place since the 1990s, Russia will respond accordingly.<\/p>\n

This week, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced landmark successful tests of two advanced nuclear-capable weapons systems, the unlimited-range Burevestnik cruise missile and the Poseidon underwater drone. Both use a highly-miniaturized nuclear reactor for propulsion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
