The Republican left Norah O’Donnell completely shocked when he stated that China and Russia are testing nuclear weapons. The interview with Donald Trump aired on Sunday (November 2).
Donald Trump discussed several controversial topics during his appearance on ’60 Minutes’, but what really shocked the host was the accusation that China and Russia are testing nuclear weapons.
Host Norah O’Donnell explained that currently, North Korea is the only country conducting nuclear tests in the world, to which the president responded by saying, “Russia is testing, and China is testing, but no one talks about it.”
“This would certainly be major news. From what I understand, what Russia did was test the launch system for nuclear weapons, not the warheads themselves,” continued O’Donnell.
“They don’t have reporters writing about it, we do. We will test; they test. No matter how powerful they are, this is a big world. You don’t always know where they are testing,” Donald Trump continued.

The U.S. president said the two countries are testing the weapons “deep underground,” where people “don’t know exactly what’s happening.”
In the last week of October, the Republican instructed the Department of Defense to begin preparations to test nuclear weapons for the first time in 33 years.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he “hated” giving this order but considered it necessary due to the “testing programs of other countries.”
