President Trump today ordered the Department of Defense to resume U.S. nuclear weapons testing—an unambiguous response to enemy powers secretly expanding their arsenals underground.
He made clear that China and Russia are conducting covert tests. We deserve equal visibility. We demand transparency. We will not cede strategic advantage.
For decades, America maintained a voluntary moratorium while adversaries quietly advanced their capabilities. That imbalance ends now.
Testing is not about provocation—it’s about absolute assurance. It guarantees our nuclear deterrent remains flawless, reliable and feared.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirmed these will be rigorous system checks—non-nuclear detonations verifying every component performs under real-world conditions.
Beijing and Moscow deny any activity. Their denials ring hollow against satellite images, seismic data and intelligence reports. Talk is cheap. Actions speak volumes.
Our arsenal cannot be left to atrophy under international illusions. Strength is the surest path to peace.
The last U.S. detonation occurred in 1992. Subsequent treaties shackled our hands while adversaries exploited loopholes. No more.
This administration refuses to stand idle. We will test. We will lead. We will prevail.
