President Trump on Wednesday evening perfectly handled a rude reporter shouting at him about his nuclear plans during a trade summit in South Korea with China’s Xi Jinping.
Trump announced the United States will begin testing its nuclear weapons on an equal basis with Russia and China.
The President made the announcement from South Korea shortly before his meeting with Xi Jinping and after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced two new nuclear weapons systems tests.
“Russia has conducted a successful test of a new atomic-powered and nuclear-capable underwater drone, President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday, declaring that the new weapon can’t be intercepted,” the AP reported.
“The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office,” Trump said.
“Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years,” Trump said.
“Because of other countries testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said on Wednesday evening on Truth Social,” Trump added.
President Trump went into the trade summit confident but noted that China’s Xi is a tough negotiator.
“I think we’re going to have a deal. I think it will be a good deal for both,” President Trump said. “The world is watching, and I think we’ll have something that’s very exciting for everybody.”
A reporter rudely shouted at President Trump and tried to sabotage his high-stakes trade summit with Xi Jinping.
“Mr. President, why did you change your nuclear plans?! Why are you doing more nuclear testing?!” a reporter asked President Trump.
Trump immediately dismissed the press pool.
“Thank you very much, everybody,” Trump said without skipping a beat.
