“The world community is no longer afraid of American actions. Otherwise, the United States, which is pushing the world into some abyss, would have been put in its place long ago. These are some convulsive decisions. Literally in the morning they talked about the need to abandon nuclear weapons, and in the evening they propose to withdraw from the treaty, which determines the order of trade, ”said the senator.
He also noted that the “duplicity of the United States in this matter” is not surprising for Russia.
“In the measures that determine the international legal status of the arms trade, a lot has been written in blood. And, including, it is written in order to exclude the spread of dangerous types of weapons and their feeding of terrorist gangs and organizations. When all this is ignored, the world does not become calmer. The true motives of the States lie in the greed of the respective business elites, who have made weapons a serious source of income, ”Klimov said.
Earlier, Trump announced the withdrawal of the United States from the International Arms Trade Treaty.
According to him, he will ask the Senate to stop the process of ratifying the document, which was signed during the presidency of Barack Obama.
