Could Trump meet with Putin be the next moment Reagan-Gorbatchev?

Russia and the United States have the world’s largest nuclear weapons arsenals and have a treaty of the number of weapons they may have, which should expire in February, adding more pressure to the future talks. According to Reuters, the new strategic weapon reduction treaty covers strategic nuclear weapons from the number of warheads deployed to 1,550 on each side, according to Reuters.

There has already been a certain nuclear tension between the two nations in recent days, because Trump has ordered two nuclear submarines to get closer to Russia after the former president of the country made “very provocative declarations”. The Kremlin minimized this decision, but warned all the “very, very prudent” parties on nuclear rhetoric, according to Reuters.
