In a recent interview, Donald Trump revealed something shocking: Pakistan has been conducting covert nuclear weapons tests. In order to "keep pace" with other nations, such as China, North Korea, and Russia, he also reaffirmed that the US will resume its own nuclear tests.
Trump claimed in an interview with CBS News' 60 Minutes on Sunday that although the US has not conducted nuclear tests in more than thirty years, certain nations, such as Pakistan, still conduct underground nuclear tests out of the public eye.

Trump declared, "We're going to test because they test." "North Korea has undoubtedly been conducting tests. Pakistan has been putting everything to the test. They do not go out and inform you of it. They conduct their tests underground, where nobody is aware of what is going on. You only sense a slight vibration.Trump's comments mark the first time a sitting US president has directly accused Pakistan of ongoing nuclear testing.
He claimed that other countries, including China and Russia, were also carrying such experiments covertly and without attracting attention from the public. "Our society is open. We discuss it. He stated, "They don't have reporters who will be writing about it."
Trump on US plans for nuclear tests
Trump defended his move to lift a 30-year ban on US nuclear testing, arguing that Washington could not continue to be the "only country" holding back.
He remarked, "You have to see how they work." China's and Russia's experiments. Other nations are doing tests. We are the only nation that doesn't conduct tests, and I don't want to be the only one.Trump asserted that the US had "more nuclear weapons than any other country" and that he has discussed denuclearisation with both Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He declared that "we have enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 150 times." "China has quite a bit, and Russia has a lot."
Citing Russia's recent testing of sophisticated nuclear-capable devices, such as the Poseidon underwater drone, Trump had already declared on Thursday that plans were on for a rapid restart of US nuclear testing.
Before he boarded Air Force One, he informed reporters, "They all seem to be nuclear testing." "We are the ones with the most nuclear weapons. Although we don't test, I believe it is appropriate for us to do so since others do.

"I think we have it pretty well locked up," Trump said in response to a question about whether additional testing could increase the volatility of the world's nuclear situation.
In September 1992, the United States carried out its most recent full-scale underground nuclear test. Subsequent administrations have since observed a voluntary moratorium, depending instead on subcritical testing and computer simulations to guarantee the dependability of the arsenal.
Trump intensifies his calls for an Indo-Pak ceasefire.
In the interview, Trump again reiterated his assertion that he prevented a "nuclear war" between India and Pakistan earlier this year, attributing the de-escalation to his use of trade and tariffs.

Trump declared, "They were going to have a nuclear war." And I warned them both that they would not be able to do business with the United States if they couldn't quickly come to an agreement. Their business dealings with us are extensive. They came to an agreement and put an end to the fight.
In response to the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, which claimed 26 civilian lives, Trump was referring to the rise in tensions that followed Operation Sindoor, which involved precision attacks on nine terrorist compounds in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK).
According to the US president, his "tariff diplomacy" has been crucial in reducing tensions. "I couldn't have made the deals if it weren't for trade and tariffs," he stated.

Trump's claims have been frequently denied by India, which maintains that the ceasefire was reached through bilateral channels—more especially, discussions between the Directors General of Military Operations (DGMOs)—without the involvement of a third party.
Additionally, New Delhi has reaffirmed that all unresolved matters with Pakistan, particularly those pertaining to Jammu and Kashmir, must be settled amicably.
