American official: The United States will hold nuclear arms control talks with the Russian delegation.

A senior official from the US State Department said that the United States met with a Russian delegation in Geneva on Monday to discuss pushing for a potential multilateral nuclear arms control treaty. After the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), which limits the deployment of US and Russian missiles and warheads, expired, the US is calling for a new arms control agreement that is broader in scope and includes Russia.
