Kimball also noted that the administration's escalated rhetoric toward China during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic will not have helped bring them to the table.

Kimball said that it is good that Russia and the U.S. will conduct a meeting to discuss the nuclear arms control matters, but it should not be celebrated since the Trump administration seems to remain the same.
"They're refusing to pick up Russia's offer to extend New START," said Kimball.
"They appear to be still demanding new agreements that can't be negotiated before New START expires, not only with Russia but with China. So, I'm not jumping up and down for joy," he added.
