Trump's Nuclear Testing Declaration Shakes Decades-Long Restraint and Global Stability

Donald Trumps declaration to resume Nuclear weapons testing marks a drastic shift in the United States nuclear policy, raising global tensions and concerns about stability.

• President Donald Trump announced plans for the United States to resume Nuclear weapons testing, overturning a 30-year policy of restraint since the last explosive test in 1992.
• The US has conducted 1,032 nuclear tests from 1945 to 1992, and this reversal may provoke responses from global powers like Russia and China, increasing international tension.
• Experts warn that renewed Nuclear weapons testing by the United States could escalate an arms race, particularly with adversaries such as Russia, led by Vladimir Putin, and China.
