This analysis examines President Trump's announcement to resume nuclear testing and its far-reaching implications for global security. The article explores how this decision affects the tripolar nuclear balance between the US, Russia, and China, threatens existing non-proliferation frameworks like the CTBT, and potentially destabilizes regional nuclear dynamics, particularly in the China-India-Pakistan triangle. The authors argue that resuming nuclear testing could fundamentally undermine nuclear deterrence stability in an already volatile geopolitical environment.
