WASHINGTON, Nov 7 (KUNA) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said he held denuclearization talks with his Russian and Chinese counterparts Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping respectively, considering denuclearization a significant step.
"I think that denuclearization would be a great thing. We could blow up the world 150 times. There's no need for this. So, I really think we're going to have -- I've spoken to President Putin about it, I've spoken to President Xi about it and everybody would like to spend all of that money on other things, people that really -- things that can benefit people now," Trump said to reporters late Thursday.
"My doctrine would be denuclearization because we have enough nuclear. We're number one, Russia is number two, China's number three -- way behind, but they'll be even in four or five years. They're you know, working overtime on nuclear weapons," he added.
"So, I think something like that could happen, the denuclearization. It's really, I want peace, I want peace through strength, but we want peace all over the world and we're very close to getting it," Trump noted. (end) asj.mt
