Donald Trump threw a nuclear curve ball this week saying he wants to start testing nuclear weapons so the US can keep pace with Russia and China.

The comments came with few details and have caused some confusion in the Senate. 

They came shortly after the US and China appeared to smooth things over at the APEC summit in which President Trump also met our own Prime Minister Christopher Luxon.
