US President Trump: Pakistan Involved in Nuclear Testing

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has revealed that Pakistan has been conducting nuclear weapons tests. This revelation follows Trump’s earlier declaration that the U.S. would restart its nuclear testing program, marking the first time in over 30 years. Trump identified Pakistan as one of the nations, alongside Russia, China, and North Korea, that are actively testing nuclear capabilities. He presented this as a compelling reason for the U.S. to abandon its own testing pause. In a candid interview, Trump contrasted the secretive nuclear testing of some nations with the open reporting culture in the United States. ‘We have to talk about it because otherwise you people are going to report,’ Trump commented on U.S. transparency. He directly named Pakistan as one of the countries currently testing nuclear devices. The President’s decision to resume U.S. nuclear testing was triggered by Russia’s recent trials of advanced nuclear-capable systems, signifying a potential escalation in global nuclear preparedness. Trump justified the U.S. stance by stating, ‘We’re going to test nuclear weapons like other countries do,’ noting the continuous testing by North Korea and others. He further claimed that the U.S. possesses the world’s largest nuclear arsenal, capable of unprecedented destruction, and has discussed denuclearization strategies with the leaders of Russia and China. When questioned about the potential impact on global stability, Trump indicated a sense of control, remarking, ‘I think we have it pretty well locked up.’
