Trump claims his presidency ensured global stability amid nuclear tensions

Former US President Donald Trump has reflected on his time in office, highlighting his administration's record on global stability and nuclear policy. Trump contrasted his term with the global instability that preceded it, asserting that major international conflicts were notably absent during his presidency. He emphasized the importance of avoiding nuclear war, stating that he had the nuclear codes and could have used them 150 times but chose not to. Instead, he claimed that the US could destroy the world 150 times over with its nuclear arsenal, underscoring the country's deterrent power. Meanwhile, in recent developments, Russia has conducted tests of the Burevestnik missile and the underwater Poseidon vehicle. The Russian government has clarified that these tests were not nuclear in nature and therefore did not violate the global nuclear test ban. The successful tests were announced, but the authorities denied that they constituted nuclear test violations. Trump's reflection on his presidency highlights his perspective on global stability and nuclear policy. Meanwhile, Russia's clarification on its recent tests underscores the complexities of nuclear disarmament and verification efforts.
