Sources: Trump catches advisers off guard with nuke check order
President Trump instructed the Pentagon to renew nuclear testing after a 33-year pause, citing different nations’ capabilities. “That process will begin immediately,” the president wrote on social media. The directive took even a lot of Trump’s advisers off guard, based on officers, resulting in unanswered questions on when, or if, the testing would truly start. Historically, it’s the Department of Energy that maintains and exams the US nuclear stockpile, not the Department of Defense. And engineers have stated correct exams may be performed via laptop simulation, not blowing up an precise warhead underwater or within the Nevada desert.
