Axios: US and Russia close to agreement to extend New Start

The US and Russia are reportedly close to an agreement on adhering to the New START nuclear arms control treaty after it expired on Thursday. Sources indicate a plan exists but requires approval from both presidents. The UN Secretary-General urged both countries to negotiate a new nuclear disarmament agreement following the expiration of the New START treaty, the last remaining one between the two nations. The treaty's expiration marks a shift to a less controlled global nuclear order.
