Trump’s silence on nuclear testing hints at strategic posturing
Following recent developments in the South Korean and Sydney regions, U.S.
President Donald Trump once again avoided responding directly to questions from journalists regarding his intentions to potentially resume nuclear testing.
After his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Trump displayed strategic caution, leaving open the possibility of returning to nuclear tests, which had been halted for over three decades.
The U.S.
Defense Department has not confirmed whether these are actual preparations or mere political signals.
The last full-scale nuclear tests conducted by the United States took place in September 1992, after which the focus shifted to modeling and simulations using advanced technology.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the completion of a new cruise missile test, the ‘Burevestnik,’ capable of bypassing adversary missile defenses and covering vast distances with high precision.
The international community is closely watching these developments, as they could significantly shift the global balance of nuclear power and security, raising concerns about renewed arms races and geopolitical stability.
