13:58Now PlayingPresident Trump has announced plans to pull the United States out of a landmark nuclear arms pact with Russia, in a move that could spark a new arms race. President Ronald Reagan and former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev signed the IntermediateRange Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in 1987. The INF banned all nuclear and nonnuclear missiles with short and medium ranges. The treaty helped to eliminate thousands of landbased missiles. On Saturday, Trump vowed to build new nuclear weapons. We speak with Daryl Kimball, director of the Arms Control Association. He previously led the Coalition to Reduce Nuclear Dangers. He has been advocating for the U.S. and Russia to preserve the INF Treaty.
