New Delhi: In a shocking revelation, US President Doland Trump on Monday that Pakistan is among the countries that have been actively testing nuclear weapons, citing it as part of a broader pattern among other states that necessitates the US resuming its own nuclear tests.

In an interview with CBS News’s 60 Minutes on Sunday, Trump said several countries, including Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan, are conducting nuclear tests, while the US remains the only nation that does not.

Here are some of the key takeways from his interview:

• US President Doland Trump on Monday that Pakistan is among the countries that have been actively testing nuclear weapons
• Russia’s testing and China’s testing, but they don’t talk about it. We’re an open society. We’re different. We talk about it. We have to talk about it because otherwise you people are going to report. They don’t have reporters that are going to be writing about it, Doland Trump stated.
• We’re going to test because they test and others test. And certainly North Korea’s been testing. Pakistan’s been testing, Doland Trump said.
• Trump made these remarks when he was asked about his decision of “detonating nuclear weapons” after more than 30 years
• You have to see how they work. The reason I’m saying testing is because Russia announced that they were going to be doing a test. If you notice, North Korea is testing constantly.
• Other countries are testing. We’re the only country that doesn’t test. And I don’t want to be the only country that doesn’t test, Trump stated during the interview.
• “We’re going to test nuclear weapons like other countries do,” Trump added.

Trump also claimed that the US possesses “more nuclear weapons than any other country,” adding that he had discussed denuclearisation with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.”We have enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 150 times,” Trump said. “Russia has a lot of nuclear weapons and China will have a lot. They have some. They have quite a bit.”
