US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to restart nuclear weapons testing, a move that could end the decades-long moratorium that began after the Cold War.

‎

‎Trump announced the decision via his Truth Social account, stating, “Because of other countries’ testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.”

‎

‎The directive represents a significant shift in US defense policy, signaling a more aggressive stance toward maintaining military parity with other nuclear-armed nations. Experts warn that the move could escalate global tensions, prompting reactions from rival powers watching closely.
