Washington DC - US President Donald Trump has revealed that Pakistan is among the countries that are actively engaged in nuclear weapons testing. He described it as part of a broader pattern in other countries, which creates a need for the US to resume its nuclear tests.
In an interview with CBS News' '60 Minutes' on Sunday, Trump said that several countries, including Russia, China, North Korea and Pakistan, are conducting nuclear tests, while the US is the only country that does not.
"Russia is testing and China is testing, but they don't talk about it. We are an open society. We are different. We talk about it. We have to talk about it because otherwise your people will report on it. They don't have journalists who will write about it.'' He added, ''We will test because they test and other people test and certainly North Korea is testing. Pakistan is testing.'' Trump made the comments when asked about his decision to "detonate nuclear weapons" after more than 30 years following recent tests of Russia's state-of-the-art nuclear-capable systems.
