At the same time, Trump emphasized that he does not want the U.S. to "be the only country that does not conduct tests."
The U.S. has "enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 150 times," but the States will not be "the only country that does not conduct nuclear tests."
This was stated by U.S. President Donald Trump in an interview with CBS News. "We have more nuclear weapons than other countries. We need to do something about denuclearization," he said.
According to Trump, he discussed this issue with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. "We have enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 150 times. Russia has a lot of nuclear weapons, and China will have a lot," he noted.
At the same time, Trump emphasized that he does not want the U.S. to "be the only country that does not conduct tests."
"We will test nuclear weapons, as other countries do. Russia conducts tests, China conducts tests, but they keep quiet about it. We are an open society. We are different. We talk about it," the head of the White House shared his plans.
At the end of October, Trump instructed the Pentagon to begin testing nuclear weapons. At that time, he stated that he did not want to make such a decision; however, according to him, he had "no choice."
This move divided Congress, as Republicans welcome the decision, while Democrats consider it dangerous.
