The Minuteman III missile test launch comes after Russia tested its nuclear-powered torpedo and cruise missile, and China showcased its newest ICBMs. It remains to be seen whether the U.S. will carry out additional tests to signal its nuclear capabilities.

Trump orders immediate resumption of U.S. nuclear weapons testing to match global programs, citing Russia and China's advancing capabilities in major policy shift.

The US fired a Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) early Wednesday, testing America’s national defense as President Trump called for re-starting the country’s nuclear weapons

As many as 550,000 U.S. military service members were exposed to radiation or participated in nuclear weapons tests that continued through 1962

Experts say reviving the long-dormant testing program could take at least a year and would cost astronomical amounts for each test

Russia is testing nuclear weapons, and China is testing them too, you just don’t know about it,” Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright says President Donald Trump's call for immediate resumption of nuclear weapons tests will not include explosions.
