‼️Coming back from China, Donald Trump declared that he and Xi Jinping, also discussed a world free of nuclear weapons. “We brought it up, the denuclearization. The concept of that is something that would be very good.” Time to turn that thought into action‼️#NuclearBan 😅

2/ South Africa did so by emphasizing that nuclear disarmament is an obligation and an urgent priority, and by acknowledging the catastrophic humanitarian and environmental consequences of nuclear weapons. Watch more here: youtu.be/XMQaMqEg-fg #NuclearBan

🧵1/ At the #NPTRevCon, South Africa took the floor, in its capacity as the President of the 1st Review of the #TPNW, to argue that any outcome document must reflect the view of TPNW states parties, which group represents a majority of NPT member states: youtu.be/XMQaMqEg-fg
