Trump’s call for nuclear testing faces opposition
“President Trump’s call to resume nuclear tests was muddied last week when Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the United States would not resume explosive testing.
“I think the tests we’re talking about right now are system tests. These are not nuclear explosions. These are what we call noncritical explosions,”
said Wright. That didn’t square with Trump’s own remarks in which he alleged that other countries were conducting secret underground nuclear testing and said the U.S. would do the same,”
writes The Hill.
Using nuclear tests as a threat and a means of pressure could lead to global escalation and even nuclear war. Russia and China are not conducting nuclear tests. There are no compelling reasons to resume explosive nuclear testing now. Furthermore, it would cost American taxpayers billions of dollars.
