What to know about Trump suggesting US resume nuclear tests

President Donald Trump said on Truth Social he has instructed the "Department of War" to immediately restart U.S. nuclear weapons testing, a break with decades of policy, posting just before meeting China’s Xi. His claim that America has the most warheads contradicts estimates showing Russia has slightly more. The U.S. last tested in 1992; any new test would likely be in Nevada and require years of preparation. Experts warn a U.S. test could spur others to follow and ignite a new arms race amid Russian, Chinese and North Korean nuclear advances.
