Trump Asks Pentagon To Immediately Resume Testing U.S. Nuclear Weapons

In a surprise move minutes before talks with China’s Xi in Busan, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered an immediate resumption of U.S. nuclear weapons testing after a 33 year gap, posting the directive on Truth Social while en route. He said tests would match other powers and sites would be chosen later, while downplaying risk and saying he favors denuclearisation. The announcement drew swift pushback, including from Rep. Dina Titus and arms-control advocates warning of treaty damage and noting it could take at least 36 months to restart underground tests. It came amid Russian tests and China’s expanding arsenal.
