Email Bio Follow April 26 at 9:05 AM The Trump administration is expected to end U.S. support for a global arms treaty, the latest illustration of its aversion to international pacts and world governance.
The treaty seeks to prevent illicit arms transfers that fuel destructive conflicts, making it harder to conduct weapon sales in violation of arms embargoes. About 100 countries, including U.S. allies in Europe, have ratified the treaty while more than 30 others have signed but not ratified. Countries that have shunned the treaty entirely include Russia, North Korea and Syria.
Since taking office, Trump has approved decisions to pull the United States from the Paris climate accord, the nuclear deal with Iran and the U.N. educational and cultural body UNESCO. His national security adviser, John Bolton, has championed a campaign to challenge the International Criminal Court.The decisions have tested U.S. alliances and, critics say, undermined U.S. influence abroad.
