President Trump says U.S. will pull out of a 30-year old landmark nuclear deal with Russia














Yesterday, President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States plans to leave a landmark nuclear weapons treaty with Russia over claims Moscow has violated the deal.



The 30--year old Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, known as the INF, was signed in 1987 by president Ronald Reagan.



'We're the ones who have stayed in the agreement and we've honored the agreement, but Russia has not unfortunately honored the agreement, so we're going to terminate the agreement and we're going to pull out. Russia has violated the agreement. They've been violating it for many years. I don't know why President Barack Obama didn't negotiate or pull out. And we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons while we're not allowed to' Trump told reporters during a rally in Nevada.



Trump spoke as his National Security Advisor John Bolton was in Moscow to meet with Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, ahead of what is expected to be a second summit between Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin this year.



The U.S.-Russia ties are under deep strain over accusations that Moscow meddled in the 2016 presidential election, as well as tension over Russian support for the Syrian government in the country's civil war, and the conflict in Ukraine
