The White House announced Friday its plan to indefinitely suspend the country’s nuclear arms treaty with Russia; ending a Soviet-era pact that sought to limit the nuclear arsenal of both nations.

“The White House announced the decision to stop complying with the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in a statement from President Trump early Friday,” reports The Hill.

“Russia has refused to take any steps to return to real and verifiable compliance over these 60 days,” said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
