US Will Leave Nuclear Weapons Treaty With Russia

BBC World Service - Newshour, US Will Leave Nuclear Weapons Treaty With Russia

President Trump says Russia has "violated" the 1987 treaty on intermediate-range missiles

President Trump says Russia has "violated" the 1987 treaty on intermediate-range missiles.

President Trump announced that the United States will withdraw from the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, after claims Russia is in violation of the agreement. The announcement has sparked concern that the US, Russia and China may be preparing for a new nuclear arms race.

Also in the programme: we report from Venezuela where the economy continues to deteriorate; and the heart-breaking obituary for an opioid addict that went viral.
