President Donald Trump told reporters Monday that the United States would increase its nuclear arsenal until other nations "Come to their senses," threatening an arms race days after he said he would withdraw the US from a Cold War nuclear treaty.

"Until people come to their senses, we will build it up," Trump said.

Trump announced over the weekend that he intended to pull the US out of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty with Russia and accused Russia of violating the deal. Trump repeated on Monday that Russia had not adhered to the Cold War-era treaty and said his vow to increase the US nuclear stockpile included a posture against China as well. Ref. CNN.
