**Podcast Summary:**Former President Donald Trump sparked controversy by suggesting the U.S. should resume nuclear weapons testing, a move that could potentially reignite a global arms race. Trump's proposal, made before meeting with China's President Xi Jinping, was met with immediate backlash from local Nevada politicians and Congress members, who argued it's unnecessary, dangerous, and could erase decades of international commitments to stop such activities. The Nevada National Security Sites, a former testing ground, could be the location for any future American nuclear test. The decision to restart tests could have significant global consequences, as experts warn it might encourage other countries to resume testing and potentially spark a new arms race.
