US President Trump Exposes Pakistan’s Nuclear Testing Mystery

New Delhi: United States President Donald Trump has claimed that Pakistan has been carrying out nuclear weapons tests. His revelation came soon after he announced that the United States would restart its own nuclear testing program — the first in more than 30 years. Trump said Pakistan was among several countries actively testing nuclear weapons, adding that such global activities make it necessary for the US to resume testing as well.

According to the news agency, during his interview on CBS News’s 60 Minutes on Sunday, Trump stated that nations like Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan have been conducting nuclear tests, while the United States remains the only one not doing so. “Russia’s testing and China’s testing, but they don’t talk about it. We’re an open society. We have to talk about it because otherwise the media will report it,” Trump said. He continued, “We’re going to test because they test, and others test. North Korea has been testing, and Pakistan has been testing too.” Trump made these remarks while responding to a question about his decision to detonate nuclear weapons.

Why did Trump decide to resume US nuclear testing?

On Thursday, Trump announced that the United States would immediately restart nuclear weapons testing, pointing to Russia’s recent experiments with advanced nuclear systems.

We are the only country that doesn’t, and I don’t want that.”
