Trump Release Ominous Message
President Donald J. Trump signaled on Friday that the United States may soon resume underground nuclear weapons testing, telling reporters they would “find out very soon” as he doubles down on his America First defense strategy.
Speaking aboard Air Force One, the President said firmly,
“You’ll find out very soon. But we’re going to do some testing, yeah. Other countries do it. If they’re going to do it, we’re going to do it. I’m not going to say here.”
The remarks come just days after Trump ordered the Pentagon to restart U.S. nuclear weapons testing—a move aimed at putting America back on equal footing with China and Russia, both of which have continued advanced nuclear experiments and weapons modernization programs.
Trump: “We Have More Nuclear Weapons Than Any Country”
In a Truth Social post earlier this week, President Trump reminded Americans that his administration had already modernized and expanded America’s nuclear arsenal during his first term:
“America now holds the largest and most advanced nuclear arsenal in the world. We fully upgraded and modernized our weapons during my first term — something I never wanted to do, but had no choice. Russia follows behind us, and China, while still far back, could close the gap within the next five years.”
The president’s bold move came less than an hour before his much-anticipated meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea—an event focused on trade, national security, and restoring U.S. strength on the global stage.
A Clear Message to America’s Adversaries
When pressed by reporters after his meeting with Xi, Trump said the decision “had to do with others,” implying it was a direct response to continued nuclear activity by rival nations.
“They seem to all be nuclear testing. We have more nuclear weapons than anybody,” Trump said. “We don’t do testing, and we halted it many years ago, but with others doing testing, I think it’s appropriate that we do also.”
For decades, U.S. presidents refrained from testing nuclear weapons—while China, Russia, and North Korea expanded their arsenals and missile systems. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has continued to launch missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads, even as Russia and China conduct weapons trials that stop short of live detonations.
A Return to Peace Through Strength
President Trump’s decision marks a decisive return to the Reagan-era doctrine of “Peace Through Strength.”
For many conservatives, the move underscores Trump’s determination to protect America’s safety and reassert military dominance after years of weakness under globalist policies.
By restarting testing, the U.S. sends a powerful message: America will never fall behind in defense, deterrence, or technological superiority.
