  • He also commented on the recent nuclear deal with Iran, expressing optimism.

U.S. President Donald Trump urged China and Russia to participate in a nuclear disarmament agreement, emphasizing the unnecessary danger of possessing weapons capable of destroying the planet multiple times. Speaking at the conclusion of the G7 summit in ร‰vian, France, Trump expressed his desire for such a deal.

"We don't need to be able to destroy the world 300 times, it's terrible. If we could reach a denuclearization agreement, I would love it," Trump stated during his press conference. He indicated that one of the two powers was more amenable to such an agreement than the other, though he did not specify which.

Trump noted that the United States possesses the largest nuclear arsenal, followed by Russia, with China "unfortunately catching up." He reiterated his optimism regarding the recently concluded bilateral agreement with Iran, which is set to be formally signed in Switzerland this Friday. He asserted that the deal fulfills all its objectives, including ending conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

No necesitamos ser capaces de destruir el mundo 300 veces, es terrible. Si pudiรฉramos lograr un acuerdo de desnuclearizaciรณn me encantarรญa
