US President Donald Trump says the United States is discussing denuclearisation with Russia and China. The comments come as Trump describes expectations about the relative scale of nuclear arsenals and future trends.

According to the outlets’ accounts, the discussions focus on reducing or managing nuclear weapons, with Trump pointing to existing stockpiles. NDTV and Free Malaysia Today both cite nuclear stockpile rankings from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, stating that Russia has the largest number of stored warheads, followed by the United States and then China.

Al Jazeera adds Trump’s claim that China is likely to catch up to Russia and the US within about five years. While the outlets broadly align on Trump’s message and the reported stockpile comparisons, they vary slightly in how they frame the details—particularly the emphasis on China’s projected timeline and the specific reference to stored warheads.
