US President Donald Trump has stated that Pakistan is actively testing nuclear weapons, justifying his call for America to resume its nuclear testing program. In a CBS News interview, Trump cited ongoing testing by Russia, China, and North Korea as reasons why the US must restart its program after a 30-year hiatus, though Energy Secretary Chris Wright later clarified these would be "system tests" rather than actual nuclear detonations.
