US to Resume Nuclear Testing, Citing Tests by Pakistan and China

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States plans to resume testing its nuclear weapons for the first time since 1992. He justified the decision by stating that rival powers, including Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan, are already conducting their own tests, some of which are not publicly acknowledged. The move signals a significant shift in U.S. nuclear policy and could escalate geopolitical tensions, particularly in South Asia, by heightening the arms race narrative in the region.
