The United States and Russia have revived the nuclear cold war: countries with nuclear test targets and nuclear weapons
Like Trump, Putin has fueled the nuclear threat after more than three decades of interruption. Russia last conducted nuclear tests in 1990 and the United States in 1992.
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear tests "immediately". In this context, Russian President Vladimir Putin has advanced that if the United States initiates nuclear tests, Russia will do the same.
The United States carried out the latest nuclear weapons tests in 1992 and the Soviet Union in 1990. When the latter was dissolved, Russia seized most of that arsenal, so it has not conducted any nuclear tests since Russia.

Although the Treaty has never entered into force, the nuclear ceasefire has so far been respected by all the major nuclear weapons powers (the US, China, France, the United Kingdom and Russia), an achievement of the Treaty on the Total Prohibition of Nuclear Tests.
