Reactivating nuke tests will “maintain technical and numerical superiority to the combined Chinese and Russian nuclear stockpiles,” he wrote in Foreign Affairs magazine.
The Project 2025 proposals, written by Trump’s former defense secretary Christopher Miller, call for the acceleration of all weapons production and prioritize nuclear development over any other security programs, including boosting supplies above treaty limits, and creating a new nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise missile — that type of weapon was retired under George HW Bush more than 30 years ago.
Project 2025 also calls for gutting any non-nuclear programs at national laboratories, like those currently working on the climate crisis, and boosting plutonium production.
“If nuclear war happens, we won’t be second in line pressing the button,” Trump reportedly told then- Puerto Rican Governor Ricardo Rossello while surveying hurricane damage in 2017.
In 2018, Trump posted on Twitter that the US has a “much bigger & more powerful” nuclear launch button than North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
America’s European allies are also bracing for any changes to the already-fragile nuclear status quo, with Russia’s war in Ukraine and Trump’s repeated threats to blow up the US relationship with NATO.
