Trump meets Xi in South Korea – latest updates
Donald Trump has instructed the US Department of Defense to begin testing nuclear weapons at a level equal to China and Russia.
In a Wednesday post to Truth Social, Trump said that, “because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately.”
The post came less than an hour before Trump is set to meet with Chinese president Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday morning in an effort to come to a trade war truce. The meeting is the first between the two since 2019.
