flag Trump plans to resume U.S. nuclear testing, last done in 1992, citing global threats.

flag President Donald Trump announced plans to resume nuclear weapons testing in the U.S., the first such move since 1992, citing other nations’ testing activities. flag The Nevada National Security Site is the only location capable of hosting underground tests, which would use deep shafts to contain explosions. flag While the U.S. has maintained its nuclear arsenal through simulations and subcritical experiments since 1992, experts warn that restarting tests could destabilize global deterrence, pose environmental and seismic risks, and benefit adversaries. flag The announcement comes amid heightened tensions with Russia, which has tested nuclear-powered drones and conducted missile drills, and as the New START treaty nears expiration.
