Former President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of War to commence nuclear weapon testing, citing the need to match the capabilities of Russia and China. In a recent statement, Trump expressed his frustration over the nuclear advancements of other nations, stating that the U.S. must now test its weapons on an equal footing.
Talking about the decision, Trump said, ‘Because of the tremendous destructive power, I hated to do it, but had no choice!’ He added that Russia is currently second, with China a distant third, but will be even within five years. Trump indicated that due to other countries’ testing programs, the U.S. has instructed the Department of War to start testing its nuclear weapons on an equal basis.
Analysts suggest that this decision could have significant implications for global military strategies. With Russia and China both advancing their nuclear capabilities, the U.S. aims to reassert its technological and strategic dominance in the international arena.
