DONALD Trump ordered the US military to “immediately” resume testing America’s vast nuclear arsenal for the first time in three decades.
Trump’s announcement came just hours after Russia said it tested a nuclear-capable underwater drone – the second such aggressive test in a matter of days.
Trump made the announcement just before meeting Xi Jinping for high-stakes trade talks – and said the testing would be on an equal basis with Russia and China.
He wrote on Truth Social: “The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office.
“Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years.
” Because of other countries’ testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately.”
