Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is not worried about President-elect Donald Trump’s recent suggestions that the U.S. “greatly strengthen” its nuclear arsenal, saying the remarks are “nothing new.” At his year-end press conference, Putin added: “During his election campaign, he said the U.S. needed to bolster nuclear capabilities and armed forces in general, and there is nothing new.” Later Friday morning, Trump apparently told MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski, “Let it be an arms race. We will out-match them at every pass and out-last them all.”
