The Russians have a large nuclear arsenal. The Chinese have a large nuclear arsenal. Sometimes you've got to test it to make sure that it's functioning and working properly. We've been working very closely, even with nations that we don't have the best relations with, to try to limit nuclear proliferation. The president's going to keep on working on that. But it's an important part of American national security to make sure that this nuclear arsenal we have actually functions properly. And that's part of a testing regime. To be clear, we know that it does work properly, but you've got to keep on top of it over time. And the president just wants to make sure that we do that." Trump made the surprise announcement on Truth Social while aboard his Marine One helicopter, flying to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping for a trade-negotiating session in Busan, South Korea. He said he was instructing the Pentagon to test the U.S. nuclear arsenal on an "equal basis" with other nuclear powers.
