U.S. President Donald Trump revealed on Wednesday that he may be exploring a potential plan for denuclearization in collaboration with China and Russia, though he did not disclose any specific details. Speaking at the American Business Forum in Miami, Trump highlighted the United States’ current standing as the world’s leading nuclear power but expressed discomfort with the distinction.

“We redid our nuclear — we’re the number one nuclear power, which I hate to admit because it’s so horrible,” Trump said during his speech. He went on to note that Russia ranks as the second-largest nuclear power, followed by China, which he believes could close the gap in the next few years. “Russia’s second. China’s a distant third, but they’ll catch us within four or five years,” he added.

Trump’s remarks hinted at the possibility of a trilateral agreement aimed at reducing nuclear weapons among the three major powers. “We’re maybe working on a plan to denuclearize, the three of us. We’ll see if that works,” he said. While no formal discussions or diplomatic initiatives have been confirmed, the statement has sparked global speculation about potential multilateral talks focused on global security and nuclear disarmament.

The idea of a cooperative denuclearization effort between the United States, Russia, and China could mark a significant shift in international relations, especially amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Experts suggest that if such talks were to materialize, they could pave the way for a new era of arms control and global peace negotiations.

Trump’s comments underscore renewed concerns over the global nuclear balance and the race for military dominance. As the world watches closely, any move toward denuclearization by these three nuclear superpowers could have far-reaching implications for global stability and international diplomacy.
