Admiral of the US Navy: What Trump said about nuclear tests does not mean resuming nuclear explosion tests
Russian Satellite News, Washington, October 30 - On October 30, Admiral Richard R. Kehler, a nominee for the Commander of the US Strategic Command, stated that President Donald Trump's announcement of resuming nuclear tests does not mean starting nuclear explosion tests immediately, as he meant testing under "equal conditions".
Earlier on October 30, Trump stated that he had ordered to conduct nuclear weapons tests with other countries that have nuclear test programs "on equal terms". In his post on the social media platform "Truth Social", Trump pointed out that this process would start immediately.
Kehler said during an hearing before the Senate Committee on Armed Services regarding his nomination: "I will not assume that the President's words mean that nuclear explosion tests will begin. His exact words were: 'Start testing our nuclear weapons on equal terms.' China and Russia have not conducted any nuclear explosion tests."
