US President Donald Trump hopes that he will be able to reach an agreement on nuclear proliferation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The American leader stated this during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May in London.

In reply to the question about what he hopes to accomplish in Monday’s meeting with Putin, Trump said the two would be talking about Ukraine, Syria, other parts of the Middle East, nuclear proliferation. "It's a devastating technology. It's a bad policy. [But] We have no choice," Trump concluded.

Trump added that he would talk about nuclear proliferation with Putin. "If we can do something to substantially reduce them [nuclear weapons], I mean, ideally get rid of them, maybe that's a dream, but certainly it's a subject that I'll be bringing up with him," Trump stressed.
