NEW YORK: President Donald Trump has announced that the US will start testing nuclear weapons “immediately” in a break from 33 years of the country's self-restraint.

Hours before his meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday, he said in a cryptic post on Truth Social, “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”, he added.
