After ordering nuke weapons test, now Trump calls for dunuclearisation; ‘have spoken to Xi, Putin…’

President Donald Trump emphasized his administration’s push for global denuclearization and “peace through strength” as he lauded progress toward ending the war in Ukraine and announced significant reductions in Russian oil exports. Trump said denuclearization remains the core of his doctrine in dealings with rival powers, revealing talks with Presidents Putin and Xi about freezing worldwide nuclear arsenals. He credited “maximum pressure” strategies for resolving years-old conflicts and declared the US is prioritizing security, resurgence of American strength, and peace deals using robust leverage—including aggressive tariffs and direct diplomacy—while recalibrating alliances and focusing on domestic prosperity.
