President Trump has threatened to resume nuclear weapons testing, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy after 33 years of restraint. This announcement came just minutes before his scheduled meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, amid rising tensions over nuclear capabilities. Trump indicated that the U.S. would begin testing its nuclear arsenal 'on an equal basis' with other nations, particularly in response to China's ongoing nuclear buildup. While China has not conducted a nuclear test since 1996, Russia has recently tested nuclear-capable missiles, further complicating the geopolitical landscape. Trump's remarks could signal a new phase in nuclear diplomacy, potentially igniting an arms race as nations reassess their nuclear strategies.
