BRUSSELS — President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin are expected to announce a new arms control dialogue this week, U.S. and European sources expect, as the Cold War-era rivals try to manage their nuclear arsenals before the last remaining pact expires in 2026.

“We have lots of disagreements about what’s the trade space,” a U.S. official familiar with the plan told the Washington Examiner. “So starting talks now is probably an imperative because it’s going to take a long time to get to an agreement.”
