Russia’s point man on weapons control warned Donald Trump’s incoming government on Friday that Moscow was contemplating a wide range of potential nuclear testing measures because of what it claimed was Trump’s extreme stance on the matter.
According to Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, who is in charge of arms control, Trump adopted a hardline stance on the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) during his first term, according to the Kommersant newspaper.
“The international situation is extremely difficult at the moment, the American policy in its various aspects is extremely hostile to us today,” Ryabkov was quoted as saying.
Therefore, there are no exceptions to the fact that our activities in the interest of maintaining security are optional and that there are a variety of potential actions and methods to achieve this, as well as to convey politically acceptable signals, in addition to what practitioners are thinking about.
