Nuclear Arms Race Fears? US Clarifies Trump's N-Test Order, Says 'No Explosions'

This special report focuses on the global concerns surrounding the United States' nuclear testing policy following a directive from President Donald Trump to resume testing on par with rival nations. In a significant clarification, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated, 'There are no plans for a nuclear explosion in the United States of America.' The US administration has elaborated that the upcoming trials are 'non-critical' or 'subcritical' experiments, designed to verify weapon systems and components without triggering a nuclear chain reaction. This bulletin examines President Trump's justification that nations like China, Russia, and Pakistan are conducting tests covertly, and questions whether this move could ignite a new and dangerous global nuclear arms race.
