NYT: the United States intends to inform Russia about preparations for leaving the INF Treaty

As noted, Trump "is inclined to withdraw from the thirty-year treaty" due to the fact that Russia, allegedly, "violated it for several years"

“And because it is holding back the United States from deploying new weapons to counter the growing arsenal of medium-range weapons that China has deployed,” the text says.

Earlier, The Guardian newspaper wrote that Trump's national security adviser, John Bolton, insists on the US withdrawal from the INF.

Bolton will be in Russia on October 22-23.
