The U.S. last conducted nuclear tests in 1992The IndependentKelly Rissman30 October 2025President Donald Trump downplayed the resumption of U.S. nuclear testing for the first time in more than three decades by pointing to other countries that are doing the same.In a Truth Social post Thursday, the president said he directed the Pentagon to “immediately” test nuclear weapons “on an equal basis” with other countries with nuclear powers.Trump wrote the post just before his meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping while on his tour across Asia. After the meeting, on his way back to Washington, D.C., on Air Force One, reporters asked him what prompted the decision.[...]Over the weekend, Putin announced that Moscow had successfully tested its nuclear-powered missile.“It is a unique ware which nobody else in the world has,” Putin said.As of last year, Russia had an estimated 4,300 nuclear warheads in its military stockpile while the U.S. had about 3,700, according to the Federation of American Scientists.Several lawmakers have spoken out against Trump’s decision to resume testing.“Absolutely not. I’ll be introducing legislation to put a stop to this,” Nevada Democratic Congresswoman Dina Titus said in a social media post.
The guy is sick! His brinkmanship politics will get us all killed!
The thing is super computers now can simulate the explosions make test irrelevant!
