U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced that current nuclear testing ordered by President Trump will not involve actual nuclear explosions but will focus on system tests to ensure the functionality of nuclear weapon components. Trump’s call to resume testing, after a 33-year halt, appears aimed at sending a message to nuclear rivals China and Russia. While he emphasized the importance of simulating nuclear blasts using advanced computational techniques, it remains unclear whether this could lead to future underground tests. The broader implications of these developments signal a potential shift in U.S. nuclear strategy that could escalate tensions in global geopolitics, particularly with other nuclear powers.
