The U.S. announces suspension of nuclear arms treaty with Russia
VTV.vn - The United States will suspend compliance with the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty with Russia starting today. This is according to U.S Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

The U.S. will formally withdraw in six months if Russia does not end its alleged violation of the pact, ending a cornerstone Cold War agreement and raising fears of a new nuclear arms race in Europe and Asia. Some experts believe the collapse of the INF treaty could undermine other arms control agreements and speed an erosion of the global system designed to block the spread of nuclear arms.
