US President Donald Trump has reportedly issued instructions to commence nuclear testing. Precise details pertaining to the tests, such as the scope and specific goals, remain undisclosed. However, this development has already sparked discussions on global peace and potential disruption of Non-Proliferation Treaty agreements.

Given Japan's history with nuclear weapons and the post-war pacifism that informs much of its foreign policy, news about nuclear tests is typically received with concern. The country is deeply invested in international peacekeeping efforts and the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. The prospect of resumed testing by a significant global power could be seen as destabilizing.

In the US and EU, nuclear testing often generates significant controversy as well. The U.S. has not conducted a nuclear test since 1992. Any decision to resume testing would likely face opposition from both international peace organizations and domestic groups. Moreover, this could have implications for the global balance of power and relations with countries like Russia or China.
