Trump says he and Putin discussed a three-way nuclear deal that includes China

US President Donald Trump on Friday said that he spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin about a potential nuclear deal with Russia and China.

"We're talking about a nuclear agreement where we make less and they make less and maybe even where we get rid of some of the tremendous firepower that we have right now. He added, "I think we're going to probably start something up shortly with Russia and ourselves maybe to start off. I think China will be added down the road."

Trump would like to see it become one of his signature foreign policy achievements, the officials said.
"This is something that no administration has tried before" the senior official said.

Administration officials say their aim is to revamp a dusty pact for a new age and increase global security.
