US President Donald Trump has repeatedly said he wants to reduce nuclear weapons. His focus includes both China and Russia.
A key arms control treaty between the US and Russia, called New START, is about to expire. This creates a new challenge. Experts call it a nuclear "three-body problem," meaning the US must now deal with two major nuclear rivals at once.
President Trump plans to visit China in April. This trip could become the starting point for new three-way talks. The goal would be a broader agreement to limit atomic arsenals.
