Russia Awaits US Response on New START Treaty

Russia and the United States have a treaty called New START that limits the number of nuclear weapons they can have.

This treaty is about to expire in less than two months.

Russia has offered to keep following the treaty's rules for one more year, but they are still waiting for an official answer from the US.

Both countries have a lot of nuclear weapons, and they are trying to figure out what to do next.

The US has said they want to talk more about this with Russia.

It's important because it helps keep the world safer by preventing too many nuclear weapons from being built.
