US will 'act in kind' if other countries increase nuke capacity: Trump spokesman
The United States under Donald Trump's presidency will not allow other countries to increase their nuclear capability without responding in kind, a spokesman for the president-elect said on Friday.
"There are countries around the globe right now that are talking about increasing their nuclear capacity," Sean Spicer, the incoming White House press secretary, told CNN.
"And the United States is not going to sit back and allow that to happen without acting in kind," he said, after being questioned about a Trump tweet calling for the US to "greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability."
Asked if he was referring specifically to Moscow, Spicer replied: "I'm talking about Russia -- it's not just about one country. It's any country."
