President Trump has said and confirmed that the United States is leaving an arms control treaty with Russia datting back to the 1980's during the cold war. This treaty kept nuclears missles out of Europe for three decades. The reason why the United States is left the treaty was becuase Russia has beein violating the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces treaty (INF) with developing and deployment of a new cruse missile. Under the terms it would take six months for the United States withdrawel to take effect.
According to the deputy director general of the Royal United Services Institute Malcolm Chalmers said "If the INF treaty collapses, and with the New Start treaty on strategic arms due to expire in 2021, the world could be left without any limits on the nuclear arsenals of nuclear states for the first time since 1972.”
