President Donald Trump has indicated a potential resumption of U.S. nuclear testing, including underground tests, which had been dormant for 33 years. His statement came during a flight to Palm Beach and was framed as a response to other nuclear powers, notably China and Russia. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth backed this approach, emphasizing its role in maintaining nuclear deterrence. Meanwhile, legislation has been proposed by Representative Dina Titus to prevent the resumption of explosive nuclear tests, warning that such actions could trigger a new arms race and jeopardize public safety in Nevada, highlighting the complex geopolitical implications of renewed nuclear testing amid rising tensions with rival nations.
