US President-Elect,Trump to waive Russia sanctions for Nuclear Arms negotiations

US president-elect, Donald Trumphas says he will offer to end sanctions against Russia in return for a nuclear arms reduction deal with the Kremlin.
Trump who was speaking in an interview with a British Newspaper Monday, said he wanted nuclear weapons arsenals of the world's two biggest nuclear powers - the United States and Russia - to be "reduced very substantially".
According to the Newspaper, Trump said "They have sanctions on Russia - let's see if we can make some good deals with Russia. For one thing, I think nuclear weapons should be way down and reduced very substantially, that's part of it".

This is however coming on the heels of Trump’s tweet on December 22,  that the US must "greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until the world comes to its senses regarding nukes". 
 Russian leader Vladimir Putin had around the same period, also called for the strengthening of "strategic nuclear forces".

In the same interview, the US President elect also observed that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), an alliance formed to counter the military power of the former USSR, has become obsolete, as well as criticised Russia for its intervention in the Syrian war, describing it as "a very bad thing" that had led to a "terrible humanitarian situation".

In Moscow, members of parliament gave a mixed reaction to Trump's statement on the sanctions imposed by the Obama administration on Moscow over the Ukraine crisis.
Konstantin Kosachev, head of the upper house of parliament's international affairs committee, was cited by the RIA Novosti news agency as saying getting the sanctions annulled was not a goal in itself and not worth making security concessions for.
But another Russian senator, Oleg Morozov, was quoted by the same agency as saying that Moscow would be ready to discuss the issue of nuclear cuts, something he said Russia itself favoured.
