This was stated by a spokesman for the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Trump’s words about the possibility of negotiations with Vladimir Putin and PRC Chairman Xi Jinping on the question of ending the arms race.

“Let us recall President Putin’s statement, he, in fact, speaks of the disastrous consequences of a possible withdrawal of Americans from the DPRSD. Putin says that such an exit could provoke an arms race and could provoke a situation that would destabilize the situation, ”RIA Novosti quotes Peskov.

In this regard, as Peskov pointed out, if the actions of "American counterparts will be correlated with such statements," this in Moscow "will only be welcomed."

Earlier, Trump expressed confidence that he will be able to discuss the arms race with Putin and Xi Jinping.
