US EditionTrump Orders Resumption of Nuclear Weapons Testing
Trump ordered the Pentagon to restart nuclear weapons testing after a 33-year halt, citing Russia and China’s testing programs and aiming to maintain strategic parity.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing 'immediately', potentially ending the 33-year pause since 1992 just before meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea.
- Because of rival testing, Trump wrote he acted due to 'other countries testing programmes' and instructed the Department of War to test on an 'equal basis' after recent Russian tests of Poseidon and a nuclear-powered cruise missile.
- The Pentagon still maintains a voluntary moratorium since 1992 on nuclear explosive testing while retaining the ability to resume tests at the Nevada National Security Site, and continues U.S. military delivery-system tests including recent Trident launches.
- The Kremlin responded that Russia would follow if Washington resumes nuclear tests, with Dmitry Peskov stating `I want to recall President Putin's statement...` Critics called the move a `bad idea`.
- Analysts warn the move signals a dramatic shift in U.S. nuclear policy, raising questions about arms-control agreements amid China's nuclear arsenal expansion, which the Pentagon expects to continue.

Trump Orders Nuclear Testing As Nuke Workers Go Unpaid
Last night Trump directed the Pentagon to start testing nukes again. If that happens, it’ll be the first time the US has detonated a nuke in more than 30 years. The organization that would likely be responsible for this would be the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a civilian workforce that oversees the American nuclear stockpile. Because of the current government shutdown, 1,400 NNSA workers are on furlough and the remaining 375…
