A senior Pakistani official has firmly rejected Donald Trump's recent allegations about secret nuclear testing, stating that "Pakistan was not the first to carry out nuclear tests and will not be the first to resume nuclear tests." Despite not being a signatory to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, Pakistan maintains it has observed a unilateral testing moratorium since its last known nuclear test in 1998, contradicting Trump's claims that multiple countries are conducting covert underground nuclear tests.
