The main thrust of the Trump administration has been to bring China into the treaty. In principle, a perfectly reasonable idea, given China's growing nuclear missile potential. But the only problem is that if the treaty in its current version had not been extended, it would not have affected the development of the Chinese strategic nuclear forces.
