President Trump has pulled out of a Cold War-era nuclear weapons treaty with Russia (File)
Beijing:
It is wrong of the United States to unilaterally pull out of a landmark Cold War-ear treaty that eliminated nuclear missiles from Europe, China said on Monday.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told a regular news briefing that China was opposed to the withdrawal.
On Sunday, President Donald Trump said Washington would withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, negotiated by then president Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in 1987.
The pact provided for elimination of short-range and intermediate-range nuclear and conventional missiles by both countries.
