An hour and a half ago Trump posted on Truth Social that the U.S. will resume nuclear weapons testing. Totally rational, normal, balanced thing to do. I guess if he’s gonna give up on the Nobel Peace Prize, might as well really be obnoxious about it.
The rationale of ‘other countries testing programs’ is a bit perplexing; probably only North Korea has done active warheads tests in the past couple decades, though there have been a small handful of unconfirmed but suspected detonations over the years. Still, he may be tipping his hand on knowledge of non-public nuclear testing. Could be he only means non-warhead testing of delivery systems. His wording, though, definitely seems like he’s set to have Department of Energy shoot off a few nukes.
I checked and verified- the below screenshot is mine.
