WASHINGTON, October 31. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump has declined to say if Washington will carry out explosive nuclear testing based on his decision.

"You'll find out very soon," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, as cited by Reuters. "Other countries do it. If they're going to do it, we're going to do it," he added.

Russian Permanent Representative to the International Organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov said earlier that Trump’s remark about instructions to the Pentagon to start nuclear weapons testing required clarifications. Ulyanov pointed out that other countries "don’t conduct explosive nuclear tests, which are banned under the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty." According to him, Russia has recently tested nuclear delivery vehicles but not nuclear explosive devices.
