I wonder how this will work out with the NPT. Or is Trump's plan for the US to withdraw from the treaty?

US doesnt need to withdraw from the treaty, as US is already de-facto violating it (US has a claim that de-jure they are not violating it because the custody of the weapons has not been transfered yet, after all we haven't seen a conflict in Europe that would warrant nuclear use) and has been violating it all along with it's policy of deploying it's weapons on allied territory, training and planning for transfer of the weapons to said allies in the times of war.
I dont see why if B61-12s can exist in Turkey they can't exist in the same capacity in ROK.
The only concern that I do see is the Chinese reaction, as B61-12 despite their modest looks are top notch first strike counter force weapons.
