Following Trump's Thursday comments, the Kremlin has announced Friday that it welcomes these denuclearization initiatives.

Trump's statements come after a violent autumn characterized by near-world-ending conventional missile exchanges and nuclear proliferation from both sides.

On Thursday while speaking at the World Economic Forum, President Donald Trump said that he wants to hold talks with Russia and China about reducing global nuclear weapon stockpiles, including that of the U.S.

“We want to see if we can denuclearize, and I think that’s very possible,” Trump said. “And I can tell you that President Putin wanted to do it, he and I wanted to do it. We had a good conversation with China, they would have been involved, and that would have been an unbelievable thing for the planet.” 

Trump’s statements indicate he is likely aware of the true scale of modern nuclear weapons.

“…tremendous amounts of money are being spent on nuclear, and the destructive capability is something that we don’t even want to talk about,” Trump said Thursday.

Notably, Trump’s statements come after a violent autumn characterized by near-world-ending conventional missile exchanges and nuclear proliferation from both sides.

Following Trump’s Thursday comments, the Kremlin has announced Friday that it welcomes these denuclearization initiatives.

“In the interest of the entire world and of our countries’ people, we are interested in starting a negotiation process as soon as possible,” Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday.

Peskov said that the legal framework for arms control has been “significantly undermined” by the West.

The U.S. has 1,770 deployed warheads while Russia has 1,710. China possesses about 500 nuclear warheads with plans to expand that to 1,000.

“According to a recent nongovernmental estimate, Russia has around 1,710 deployed nuclear warheads based on a triad of strategic delivery vehicles roughly consisting of 326 intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), 12 ballistic-missile submarines (SSBNs) with 192 submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), and 58 strategic bombers,” the Congressional Research Service said. “Russia has not exchanged official data with the United States about the structure of its strategic nuclear forces since 2023. Russian officials have stated, however, that Russia continues to abide by New START limits, thus maintaining rough parity with U.S. strategic nuclear forces. According to one nongovernmental estimate, the United States has around 1,770 deployed nuclear warheads.”

Reducing nuclear stockpiles is proven possible by the massive reductions which have already taken place.

Previously, stockpiles were vastly larger. At its peak in 1986 the USSR had over 40,000 warheads. The U.S. had its largest amounts in the mid-1960s with over 30,000 warheads.

“Russia and the U.S. were previously bound to an arms control pact called New START that required them to reduce their deployed strategic nuclear warheads, but Moscow suspended its participation in 2023 due to Washington’s military support for Ukraine. Russia has nevertheless said that it will continue to abide by the limits set out in the treaty, and President Putin has repeatedly stressed that the use of nuclear weapons is a ‘last resort’,” RT said.

Those who survived nuclear explosions have detailed the most horrific accounts of the aftermath.

Democrat President Harry Truman laughed during his speech announcing the dropping of the first atomic bomb used against civilians. Truman’s jovial outburst happens at 2:28 into the video.
