US President Donald Trump has made a sensational statement. In an interview, he said that the world could be destroyed 150 times over. Trump says that Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan are constantly testing, while the US is lagging behind.
In an interview with CBS News, Trump openly stated that there are enough nuclear bombs in the world to destroy the world 150 times over. Regarding these countries, Trump said that they conduct tests underground, where no one can see them. Only a slight vibration is felt. But America is an open society, so we have to inform them. Trump stressed that if others are testing, the US should also do so.
The US has not conducted full-scale nuclear weapons tests since 1992. Now, Trump is advocating for their resumption. He says that if small countries like North Korea can conduct tests continuously, then a superpower like the US should not lag behind. Trump clearly stated, "We will test because they are testing."
How many countries have nuclear weapons?
Russia
America
China
France
Britain
India
Pakistan
Israel
North Korea
'Why should we lag behind?'
Trump said, "Russia is testing, China is testing, but they don't talk about it. North Korea tests constantly. Pakistan is also testing."
He warned that if the US doesn't test, it will become the only country that doesn't. Trump believes testing is essential to verify the reliability of weapons, especially since Russia recently tested advanced nuclear systems like the Poseidon underwater drone.
Is there a nuclear non-proliferation agreement?
The US carried out nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, during World War II. Following this, Russia, Britain, and France also joined the race to achieve nuclear power. China joined the list in the 1960s. India achieved nuclear power much later. When several countries engaged in a nuclear arms race, a proposal was made to create a treaty to address this.
The NPT aims to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons, promote nuclear disarmament, and encourage the peaceful use of nuclear energy. This treaty, drafted in 1968, came into force in 1970. It emphasizes that nuclear weapons should be limited to the five countries (the United States, Russia, China, Britain, and France) designated as "nuclear weapon states" by the treaty. Additionally, it grants countries the right to use nuclear technology for peace. It is noteworthy that India does not consider this treaty to be rational and has not signed it.
