The United States has withdrawn from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty as a direct result of Russia’s sustained and repeated violations of the treaty over many years.
"Russia has failed to comply with its obligations under the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, and as such, the United States has withdrawn from the INF Treaty effective today, Aug. 2, 2019. This withdrawal is a direct result of Russia's sustained and repeated violations of the treaty over many years and multiple presidential administrations."
- Defense Secretary Dr. Mark T. Esper
