Trump Claims Several Nations Like Pakistan Secretly Conducting Nuclear Tests; Raises Security Concerns for India

US President Donald Trump revealed that countries like Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan are secretly conducting nuclear tests. His claims raise global security concerns, particularly for India, as covert testing could disrupt regional nuclear balance and stability.

New Delhi: US President Donald Trump recently made a shocking statement in an interview. He claimed that several countries, including Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan, are secretly conducting nuclear weapons tests. Trump's statement is not only a serious concern for international security but also creates an uncomfortable situation for India.

Trump's Allegations Regarding Secret Tests

In his statement, Trump said that these countries conduct their tests at underground sites, allowing them to evade international monitoring. He explained that these tests only produce slight tremors, so they are not publicly detected.

Pakistan Testing Nukes Again? Trump Makes Big Revelation Months After Operation Sindoor

According to Trump, America is an “open society”; therefore, it has to publicly acknowledge every activity. He said that if other countries are continuously conducting tests, then the US should also do so to maintain its security and technological edge.

Why is this a matter of concern for India?

Trump's revelation could directly impact India's security. Both India and Pakistan are nuclear-armed countries. According to reports, India has approximately 180 nuclear weapons, while Pakistan has around 170.

If Pakistan is secretly conducting new tests, it may possess more powerful and advanced weapons. This could affect India's security balance. India has always followed a “no-first-use policy,” meaning it considers nuclear weapons useful only for defense, not for offensive strategy.

Why does the US want to resume testing?

The US last conducted a full-scale nuclear test in 1992. Trump says that if smaller countries like North Korea can continuously conduct tests, then the superpower America should not lag behind.

He said, “Russia is testing, China is testing, and Pakistan is also testing, so why should America lag behind?” Trump believes that testing weapons reliability and pursuing new technological advancements are necessary, especially given Russia's recent testing of advanced nuclear systems like the Poseidon underwater drone.
