The Hill:
Defense Secretary James Mattis said Tuesday that “diplomats are still trying” to find options on the way forward on a landmark arms control treaty that President Trump has said he will withdraw the United States from.
“We have done everything we can diplomatically. The diplomats are still trying, by the way, as we speak,” Mattis said at the United States Institute of Peace. “We are doing everything we can to try to find any option. And if any of you have any good ideas please send me an email. It seems like every nut in America has my email address, I’m sure you can find it and send it to me.”
Trump announced earlier this month that he intends to withdraw from the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Force (INF) Treaty with Russia.
