The US president has said that he was left with “no choice” in light of Russian and Chinese arsenals
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, citing strategic competition with Moscow and Beijing.
Trump made the announcement ahead of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea, on Thursday, local time.
“The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office. Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
“Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years. Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately,” he added.
The US halted nuclear tests in 1992 under a Congress-mandated moratorium.
