A senior Pakistani official responded to President Trump's claims that Pakistan has conducted nuclear tests, stating the country "will not be the first to resume nuclear tests." Trump, in a CBS News 60 Minutes interview, alleged that Pakistan, Russia, and China have been testing nuclear weapons, defending his announcement that the United States would conduct its own tests. China has denied these allegations. North Korea remains the only nation confirmed to have conducted nuclear detonations since the 1990s, with China's last test in 1996 and Pakistan's in 1998. Pakistan maintains a unilateral moratorium on nuclear testing despite not being a CTBT signatory. Trump's STRATCOM nominee contradicted his claims, stating neither China nor Russia conducts nuclear explosive tests.
