WashingtonTrump says China will catch up on warheads within 5 years.
He says the US is negotiating denuclearisation with Moscow and Beijing.
With the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty expired, nothing caps the 4,000-plus warheads each that the US and Russia hold.

Trump reportedly spoke with Xi Jinping about it, but no terms, dates or negotiators have been disclosed.
