Kremlin comments on Trump's call for disarmament

The Kremlin appreciates all calls for disarmament, including those coming from the U.S., but they should not be limited to words, Russian Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, commenting on U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that the U.S., Russia and China should make an agreement to cut military spending.

"Any call for disarmament is commendable and worth considering," TASS cited the spokesman as saying.

But, according to him, the important thing is that "rather than be limited to words", it "should be translated into specific initiatives and suggestions that would be handed over to partners through official channels." Peskov added that the Kremlin had not received any suggestions of that kind from the United States.

Earlier, Trump said at a meeting with Chinese Vice Prime Minister Liu He that the U.S., China and Russia could negotiate an agreement to cut military spending.
