Trump also made broader claims in his post about his role in preventing nuclear conflict, writing that he stopped "Nuclear Wars from breaking out across the World between Pakistan and India, Iran and Israel, and Russia and Ukraine."
A White House official told Fox News that the Trump administration is still weighing next steps on nuclear arms control and that no final decision has been announced.
"The President will decide the path forward on nuclear arms control, which he will clarify on his own timeline," the official said.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that Trump has made clear that future arms control efforts must include China, telling reporters that "in order to have true arms control in the 21st century, it’s impossible to do something that doesn’t include China because of their vast and rapidly growing stockpile."
