According to ANI, in an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes program on Sunday, Trump stated that many countries, including Russia, China, North Korea and Pakistan, have conducted nuclear tests, while the United States remains the only country that has not done so.

“Russia has tests and China has tests, but they don’t talk about it. We’re an open society. We’re different. We talk about it. We have to talk about it because otherwise you’re going to report on it. They don’t have reporters to write about it,” Trump said.
“We will test because they are testing, others are testing as well. And certainly North Korea is testing as well. Pakistan is also testing,” the US President added.
Trump made these statements when he was asked about his decision to “detonate nuclear weapons.”
