Donald Trump said the US should reduce its stockpile of around 3,800 nuclear weapons.

He said he would seek to hold disarmament talks with Vladimir Putin once “we straighten it all out” in the Middle East and Ukraine .

But the president appears confident he can make deals with world’s strongmen through a series of heart-to-heart chats.

The mainstream wing of the Republican Party does not subscribe to such views, to put it mildly.

Eldridge Colby, who is likely to be confirmed as Mr Trump ’s under-secretary of defence for policy, is a keen backer of nuclear proliferation.

The economies of many Republican -held congressional districts rely on the jobs provided by the nuclear weapons industry.
