The Trump administration says it won’t sign the UN anti-nuclear weapons treaty. The treaty comes as nuclear anxieties are at the highest level since the Cold War.

Not only does the US refuse to sign the treaty, it plans to rebuild its entire nuclear arsenal. Reports say President Trump has demanded ten times more nuclear weapons. Trump says that is fake news, but acknowledges he wants the nuclear arsenal in tiptop shape.
