Pope warns of 'new arms race' as US-Russia treaty to expire

Pope Leo XIV warned Wednesday of the risk of "a new arms race" as the last U.S.-Russia nuclear treaty is set to expire.

"Do everything possible to avert a new arms race, which further threatens peace between nations," the American pontiff said at the end of his weekly general audience, with the treaty set to expire Thursday.
