"We strongly support the finding of the United States that Russia is in material breach of its obligations under the INF Treaty," the statement said.

This is not new news
the Obama administration accused the Russians of violating the pact by developing and testing a prohibited cruise missile. This isn't new what's new is Trump looking to start another arms race .. Once the United States withdraws from the treaty, there is no reason for Russia to even pretend it is observing the limits," . "Moscow will be free to deploy the 9M729 cruise missile, and an intermediate-range ballistic missile if it wants, without any restraint."
Trump clearly doesn't care or understand .. Yes Test are bad but deployments change the playing field... so my concern is unchanged
