US said it will pull out of an international arms treaty.
It was signed in 2013 but opposed by the National Rifle Association, NRA
The NRA has opposed the treaty, which regulates the 70- billion Dollar business in conventional arms
The agreement covers weapons exports, ranging from small firearms to tanks, but not domestic sales.
The 193-nation U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the pact in April 2013.
The United States, which is the world’s No. 1 arms exporter, voted in favour of it
