The head of NATO says he doesn't think members of the alliance will deploy more nuclear weapons in Europe in response to reports that Russia is developing new intermediate-range missiles.
On Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters: "We don't want a new Cold War. We don't want a new arms race." But he said there is a need to "assess the implications of the new Russian missile for our security."
On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. will withdraw from a pact with Russia that prohibits the development of medium-range missiles.
The U.S. says Russia has violated the terms of the 1987 treaty, but Russia denies those accusations and blames the U.S.
And even if the Trump administration does decide to pull the U.S. out of the agreement, it'll have to give formal notice, then wait six months for it to take effect.
