(Worthy News) – Russia is trying to get the U.N. General Assembly to adopt a resolution supporting a landmark missile treaty following President Donald Trump’s announcement that the U.S. is withdrawing from the pact.
The U.S. accuses Russia of violating the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which eliminates all ground-launched cruise and ballistic missiles with a range of 500-5,500 kilometers (300-3,400 miles).
Russia presented the draft to the Assembly’s disarmament committee Thursday but the U.S. protested that it was after the Oct. 18 deadline for submitting resolutions – but Russia argued that Trump’s announcement came after the deadline, Russian Mission spokesman Fedor Strzhizhovskiy said.
