In a surprising announcement, U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the immediate resumption of nuclear weapons testing, marking a major shift in American defense policy.

In a statement posted on social media, President Trump said he has directed the Department of Defense to begin nuclear weapons testing “without delay,” emphasizing that the United States must maintain parity with other nations that continue to advance their nuclear programs.

“The United States must be on an equal footing with countries that have active testing programs,” Trump stated, adding that the U.S. already possesses the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world.

According to the president, Russia currently ranks second in nuclear capability, while China could reach the U.S. level within the next five years if current trends continue.

Trump said his decision was driven by the fact that other nations continue to test and modernize their nuclear weapons, leaving the United States with no option but to ensure its readiness and deterrence capabilities remain unmatched.

The announcement has sparked global concern, as it could potentially trigger renewed nuclear competition among world powers and undermine international arms control agreements.
