In an interview with The Times of London, Trump said he wanted nuclear weapons arsenals of the world’s two biggest nuclear powers, the United States and Russia, to be “reduced very substantially”. “They have sanctions on Russia, let’s see if we can make some good deals with Russia.

Trump also criticised Russia for its intervention in the Syrian civil war, describing it as “a very bad thing” that had led to a “terrible humanitarian situation,” The Times said.
