After withdrawing the United States from the nuclear treaty, Donald Trump said he would develop "military response options" for Russia

"We will develop our own military response options and work with NATO, our allies and partners to deprive Russia of any military advantage arising from its illegal conduct.Trump said in a statement shortly after his government announced the withdrawal of the United States from the 1987 treaty as of this Saturday.

"Too long, Russia has violated the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty with impunity, secretly developing and deploying a prohibited missile system that poses a direct threat to our allies and our troops abroad. Tomorrow (Saturday), the United States will suspend its obligations under the INF Treaty and begin the withdrawal process, which will be completed in six months, unless Russia complies with the law, destroying all missiles, launchers and badociated equipment that commit violations, "said the president in a letter.

"Our NATO allies they support us fully because they understand the threat posed by the violation of Russia and the risks to arms control of ignoring treaty violations, "he said.

Then he added: "The United States has fully adhered to the INF Treaty for more than 30 yearsbut we will not remain limited by its terms as Russia distorts its actions. We can not be the only country in the world unilaterally bound by this treaty or by another. We will move forward with the development of our own military response options and we will work with NATO and our other allies and partners to deny Russia any military advantage of its illegal conduct"

"My administration remains committed to effective arms control, which promotes the security of the United States, its allies and partners, is verifiable and enforceable, and includes partners who fulfill their obligations. For arms control to contribute effectively to national security, all parties must scrupulously meet their obligations.. We are ready to work with Russia in arms control negotiations that meet these criteria and, more importantly, once that is done, we may develop, for the first time, an economic, trade relationship. , political and exceptional military. . It would be great for Russia and the United States, but also for the world, "he concluded.

How was the nuclear deal that the United States resigned

The INF concerned a agreement to ban medium-range nuclear weapons, those with an action between 500 and 5,500 km and fired ashore (GLBM or GLCM, depending on whether it is a ballistic missile or cruise), in the arsenals of the Soviet Union (maintained later by Russia) and the United States and was signed in 1987 by Secretary General Mikhail Gorbachev and President Ronald Reagan, respectively.

His negotiation has begun late 1970swhen the USSR deployed its SS-20 missiles in Europe, a new improved model for medium-range ballistic missiles (IRBM).

Deployment provoked a diplomatic crisis and promptly sparked a limited arms race, preparing NATO to modernize its own integrated control mechanism in the region with the arrival of Pershing II missiles.

After years of negotiations and in the context of improving relations between the two superpowers during the last part of the cold war and shortly before the fall of the USSR, Washington and Moscow reached agreement to destroy nearly 2,700 warheads and missiles between the so-called tactical nuclear weapons.

The two countries have kept intact their intercontinental ballistic missile arsenals (ICBMs), reaching more than 5,500 kilometers, which means that Russia and the United States are able to attack with these weapons, but INF has allowed to defuse the immediate conflict in Europe.
