US unlikely to convince China to join new nuclear arms control agreement, experts say
AI Summary
Experts believe the US is unlikely to convince China to join a new nuclear arms control agreement in the near future, despite upcoming meetings between leaders. This comes after the New START treaty between the US and Russia expired, and the Trump administration has been pushing for a trilateral agreement including China. Analysts cite a lack of initiative from Washington, Moscow, and Beijing to pursue meaningful negotiations. China has little incentive to join, especially given international pressure declines with Trump's recent aggression towards Venezuela, Iran and Greenland. While Trump could raise the issue with Xi, experts suggest that substantive progress is unlikely.
