Trump suggests willing to extend arms control deal with Russia

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Sunday he was prepared to maintain a nuclear arms treaty between Washington and Moscow, after his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin proposed a one-year extension.
“Sounds like a good idea to me,” Trump said at the White House when a reporter asked for his response to Putin’s offer to extend the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, four months before its February 5, 2026 expiration.
