Trump ended U.S. nuclear test moratorium, citing China and Russia, sparking global concern.
President Donald Trump announced on October 30, 2025, that he had directed the Pentagon to resume U.S. nuclear weapons testing, ending a 33-year moratorium, citing advancements by Russia and China.
The move, made on Truth Social before a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, did not specify whether tests would involve nuclear detonations or missile flight trials.
Trump claimed the U.S. must test on an "equal basis" with other nuclear powers, though experts noted the U.S. has no current technical or military need to resume explosive testing.
The announcement drew criticism from arms control advocates, who warned it could trigger a global testing revival and undermine nonproliferation efforts.
The U.S. has not conducted a nuclear test since 1992, and the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed in 1996 but never ratified by the Senate, remains unenforced.
