Trump directs nuclear weapons testing to resume for first time in over 30 years

The article reports that President Trump has directed the resumption of nuclear weapons testing in the United States, a move that would end a moratorium on such tests that has been in place for over 30 years. The president has cited the need to keep up with the weapons programs of China and Russia as the justification for this decision. The article notes that the last US nuclear weapons test was conducted in 1992, and the move to resume testing would be a significant departure from the country's previous policy. The decision is likely to be met with criticism from those who argue that it could lead to an escalation of nuclear tensions and heighten the risk of nuclear proliferation. The article does not provide additional details on the specific plans or timeline for the resumption of nuclear testing, but it highlights the potential geopolitical and security implications of this policy shift.
