Russia Delivered Ominous Response After Trump’s Announcement to Resume Nuclear Testing
On Thursday, Russia issued a grim warning following President Donald Trump’s startling announcement that the United States would resume nuclear weapons testing, ending a moratorium that had lasted more than three decades.
In a late Wednesday statement on social media, Trump declared, “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!”
He continued, “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. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Experts quickly fact-checked Trump’s claims, with one specialist stating that “nothing” in the president’s message was accurate. Meanwhile, lawmakers in Congress mounted fierce criticism of the announcement.
Responding to the news, a Kremlin spokesperson warned the international community, “If someone departs from the moratorium, Russia will act accordingly.”
The president’s statement marks a significant shift in U.S. nuclear policy, raising concerns about renewed arms competition and global security risks.
