Trump Allies Advocate Resuming Nuclear Tests

Former advisers propose restarting underground detonations, sparking debate on global security and arms races.

Proposals suggest the U.S. conduct nuclear tests for the first time since 1992 to ensure military superiority.
Experts warn that resuming tests could trigger a global arms race and undermine nonproliferation efforts.
The Heritage Foundation supports expanding nuclear testing capabilities as part of a potential Trump second-term agenda.
Critics argue that current advanced simulations and evaluations are sufficient for maintaining nuclear arsenal reliability.
Trump's campaign has not officially adopted the policy but has not ruled it out, reflecting his unilateral foreign policy stance.
