(26 Apr 2019) US President Donald Trump said he's decided to withdraw support for a treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade.
It's the latest example of the Trump administration's dislike of international pacts.
Trump said on Friday that he has decided to revoke the United States' status as a signatory of the Arms Trade Treaty regulating international trade in conventional weapons, including small arms, battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships.
He said America was "rejecting this treaty" and "taking our signature back".
Trump made the announcement during a speech in Indianapolis to the National Rifle Association, which claims the treaty poses a threat to the Second Amendment.
The US signed the treaty in 2013 but never ratified it.
