Reaffirming that he does not want to use them, Trump reiterated the need to test nuclear weapons in order to see how they are going to work.
“Doesn’t it sort of make sense? You make nuclear weapons, and then you don’t test. How are you gonna do that? How are you gonna know if they work?” he added.
Trump further highlighted that the US has “tremendous nuclear power,” more than “any other country.”
“Russia’s second. China’s a very distant third, but they’ll be even in five years. You know, they’re making them rapidly, and I think we should do something about denuclearisation…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 said.
