The Security Brief: Trump and Putin bring back nuclear threat | BBC News

Описание: US President Donald Trump has directed his administration to ‘immediately’ resume nuclear testing for the first time in over 30 years.

It comes as Russia successfully trialled a nuclear-capable cruise missile and underwater drone – and as China increases its nuclear stockpile faster than any other nation.

The move by President Trump coincides with a new Netflix film, A House of Dynamite, which depicts the US response to a nuclear missile heading for Chicago.

So how serious is the threat, and how well equipped are western countries to respond?

The Security Brief’s Christian Fraser and Mikey Kay investigate, and speak to the writer of A House of Dynamite, Noah Oppenheim.
