Russia criticizes US as nuclear warhead treaty expires.

Experts have warned that the expiry of the US-Russia New START treaty could lead to a new nuclear arms race. Russia has declared itself no longer bound by limits on nuclear warheads as the treaty is set to expire, with the US yet to respond to extending the agreement. Despite the treaty ending, President Trump has expressed interest in a new deal, potentially involving China. Security experts fear a surge in arms build-up without the treaty’s restrictions, highlighting the urgent need to maintain arms control agreements.
