Russia has warned Donald Trump not to resume testing nuclear weapons when he returns to office next year, adding it would ‘not rule anything out’ in response to perceived US aggression.
Sergei Ryabkov, the country’s deputy foreign minister, who oversees arms control, asserted that Trump had taken a radical position on a treaty banning nuclear tests during his first term.
“The international situation is extremely difficult at the moment. The American policy in its various aspects is extremely hostile to us today, ” Ryabkov said in an interview with Russia’s Kommersant newspaper.

“So the options for us to act in the interests of ensuring security and the potential measures and actions we have to do this – and to send politically appropriate signals… does not rule anything out.’
During Trump’s first term as president, his administration discussed whether or not to conduct the first U.S. nuclear test since 1992, the Washington Post reported in 2020.
Putin has recently sparked fears the countries could come to nuclear blows, suggesting Russia would consider testing a nuclear weapon if the United States did.
Last month Putin lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike in response to a broader range of conventional attacks, and after Moscow said Ukraine had struck deep inside Russia with U.S.-made ATACMS missiles.
