Trump Orders Resumption of U.S. Nuclear Weapons Testing After Russia’s Drone Trial
Donald Trump announced that he has ordered the U.S. Department of Defense to resume nuclear weapons testing, ending a moratorium in place since 1992. He said the move responds to “other countries’ testing programs,” naming Russia and China. The announcement followed reports that Russia tested a nuclear-capable underwater drone. Trump made the statement before leaving for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea. He did not clarify whether the testing would involve live detonations or simulations. The decision marks a major shift in U.S. nuclear policy and raises global concerns about renewed arms competition and the future of non-proliferation efforts.
