Deputy Director General, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Gp Capt (Dr) Ajey Lele’s article ‘Trump and Nuclear Negotiations’ has been published in Financial Express on 21 February 2025.
As per some estimates today the US and Russia could be having more than 5000 nuclear weapons each while China could have around 500 to 600 weapons. Hence, China would not like to join any discussions at the stage and possibly would wait for the US and Russia to negotiate first, says Gp Capt Lele.
