President Trump says he’s instructed the Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons for the first time in over 30 years. Citing China and Russia, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, “Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.” It is unclear what he was referring to. Russia and China have not tested a nuclear weapon in decades; North Korea tested a nuclear weapon more than eight years ago. The U.S. conducted its last nuclear test back in 1992, soon after President George H.W. Bush announced a moratorium on nuclear weapons testing. After headlines, we’ll have more on this story.
