U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent claim that Pakistan is conducting underground nuclear tests has sparked speculation over Washington’s stance toward Islamabad. The remarks come shortly after Pakistan’s leadership received a warm welcome at the White House, raising doubts about whether the U.S. is turning a blind eye to Pakistan’s nuclear activities.Trump, during his interview on CBS 60 Minutes, named Pakistan among four nations along with Russia, China, and North Korea allegedly carrying out nuclear experiments. Analysts suggest that if the allegations are true, such actions could not only undermine global non-proliferation norms but also expose contradictions in U.S. foreign policy.India, maintaining its “no first use” principle, continues to emphasize responsible nuclear conduct. Meanwhile, questions remain over whether Trump’s statements indicate intelligence-based concern or political signaling amid shifting global alliances.
