RT: Trump says China wants to join nuclear pact with US, Russia
China is interested in joining a nuclear “pact” with US and Russia to reduce the number of nuclear warheads, US President Donald Trump said.
“We’re talking about a nuclear agreement, where we make less and they make less, and maybe even get rid of the tremendous firepower we have right now,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday, discussing his phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump said he and Putin discussed a possibility of making it a “three-way deal” with China, adding that Beijing “would very much like to be part of that deal.” He had brought up the topic in the ongoing trade talks with the Chinese, and they were “more excited about it than [about] trade.”

Update: Trump & Putin talked on phone about possibility of a new nuclear agreement with US, Russia & China (RT)
WNU Editor: The main stream media is not reporting this story so far. I am also skeptical that China is "eager" to join into a nuclear pact with the U.S. and Russia. They have stated repeatedly over the years that they are not interested into getting into a nuclear arms agreement with the U.S. and Russia. But if there is a change in policy in Beijing, then this is big news.
