Trump's planned tests are 'not nuclear explosions', US energy secretary says

President Trump's call for renewed nuclear weapons testing in the U.S. sparked global concern, reviving memories of the Cold War and raising questions about potential health and environmental risks. While the U.S. government clarified that only non-critical explosions are planned, mixed signals from Trump and arms experts' warnings about a new arms race have left many uneasy. Russia and China denied conducting nuclear tests, and North Korea's testing moratorium further complicates the situation. As the debate continues, officials aim to reassure the public that testing remains limited and that the era of large-scale nuclear explosions is not imminent. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
