Last week, a year after his return to power, Donald Trump announced that he had ordered the U.S. Department of Defense to immediately resume nuclear weapons testing. In a matter of months, the White House occupant has been unveiling the fine print of the ultraconservative handbook that the Heritage Foundation designed in 2023 to reshape the U.S. government. The more than 900 pages of the so-called 2025 Project already envisioned the dismissal of thousands of civil servants, the expansion of presidential power, and the dismantling of the Department of Education and other federal agencies. But they also advocated for the resumption of nuclear testing in the Nevada desert. Although detonating an underground nuclear bomb would violate the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), which the United States signed in 1996, Trump has once again resurrected the nuclear threat amidst a sweeping modernization plan.
