Trump Orders Nuclear Weapons Testing at the Pentagon
October 30, 2025
Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, claiming he had no choice due to nuclear tests being conducted by Russia and China. The last U.S. nuclear test took place in 1992, and since then, they have adhered to a treaty that prohibits such tests. Trump emphasizes that the U.S. has the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. The tests are deemed necessary for assessing nuclear weapon performance. Trump's decisions reflect international pressures and growing concerns about global security.
