-Russia has warned US president Donald Trump that his plans to ditch a key nuclear arms-control agreement risk a military escalation and will strike a major blow against global security.

Russia’s fierce backlash against Mr Trump’s plan came as John Bolton, his national security adviser and a primary critic of the arms-control agreement, landed in Moscow for two days of talks amid rapidly souring relations between the two nuclear superpowers.

Britain stands “absolutely resolute” with the United States, the UK defence secretary, Gavin Williamson, has said, after Donald Trump’s announcement he would pull out of a decades-old nuclear weapons pact with Russia.
