Trump: "I Don't Need International Law... Only I Can Stop Myself"

Donald Trump made a cynical statement in an interview with the New York Times, declaring, "I don't need international law... only my morality and my mind can stop me." This statement comes amid tensions surrounding the potential apprehension of Nicolás Maduro. He also showed indifference towards New START, the Russia-US nuclear agreement, stating that if it expires, it expires, and suggested that any future agreement should include China. The US and Russia have not engaged in discussions for a new treaty, while Vladimir Putin had proposed extending the existing agreement, which expires on February 5th.
