Donald Trump announced at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting that the United States will drop out of an international arms treaty signed in 2013 by then president Barack Obama but opposed by the NRA and other conservative groups. Trump told members of the gun lobby that he intends to revoke the status of the US as a signatory to the Arms Trade Treaty, which was never ratified by the US Senate. In a pre-emptive attack against his 2020 challengers, Trump claimed that Democrats 'want to take away your guns' and told the thousands in the crowd: 'You better get out there and vote'
