Congresswoman from Hawaii, Ms. Gabbard Tulsi, seeking the nomination for U.S. President from the Democratic party submitted to the chamber of authorized draft law prohibiting Washington to withdraw from the Treaty on the destruction of intermediate-and shorter-range missiles (INF Treaty).

"I submitted a draft law that shall prevent the President Trump to organize the escalation of a new cold war, to start a new arms race, and squander taxpayers' money on military adventures, which decrease our security, " said Ms. Gabbard in a press conference near the Capitol.

She stressed that the document prohibits the use of even a dollar from the taxpayers on a weapon that violates the Treaty.

According to Ms. Gabbard, the Danger of nuclear disaster now " more than ever ".

in her expressions, the administration's decision undermines the national security of the United States.

Congresswoman urged to work to strengthen the Treaty, to expand it and include other countries and among them China.

She recalled that last year in Hawaii was a panic when the error has sent out a warning about a missile attack and citizens tried in vain to detect the shelter, said goodbye to life and loved ones.

"We must take steps to end the new cold war, to pull back from the precipice of nuclear war ", - concluded Ms. Gabbard.

The chances of the adoption of the document is estimated as low since the Congress in General supports the tough stance of the presidential administration on the INF Treaty.

Donald trump have said before that Washington February 2, starts the withdrawal from the INF Treaty. Secretary of state Mike Pompeo drew attention that " if Russia does not return to full and verifiable compliance with the Treaty for the six-month period ", he will be terminated.

Meanwhile, Putin added that all offers of the capital of Russia on disarmament " remain on the table and the doors are open ", but asked in a persistent form in the future not to initiate any negotiations on this issue.
