Washington is expected to announce its withdrawal from the INF, a key arms control treaty. The US and Soviet Union sealed the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces or INF Treaty in 1987. The agreement aimed to eliminate a whole category of nuclear missiles. Now the Americans say a new generation of Russian cruise missiles violate the pact - an accusation Moscow denies. Last week, parts of the controversial weapons system were publicly displayed near Moscow. But not the missiles themselves. Meanwhile, Russia accuses the US of also violating the INF Treaty with other weapons systems. In an interview with DW, the US's lead arms control negotiator said that the US was suspending the treaty to force Russia's hand and allow Washington to start developing the type of weaponry banned by the pact.
