Donald Trump Hints At Global Nuclear Tensions, Mentions India’s No-First-Use Policy

In his latest interview on CBS’s 60 Minutes, US President Donald Trump made striking remarks about rising global nuclear activity, naming countries like Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan for their ongoing nuclear tests. While Trump did not directly comment on India, his statements have drawn attention to New Delhi’s long-standing nuclear stance. India has consistently reiterated its commitment to moral responsibility in nuclear strategy, emphasizing that although it is a recognized nuclear power, it adheres firmly to the ‘No First Use’ policy pledging never to initiate a nuclear strike. Analysts are now connecting Trump’s comments to broader global concerns about nuclear deterrence and the possibility of escalations similar to past military operations like “Operation Sindoor.” However, Trump avoided revealing whether he had discussed potential Indian responses or policies during White House interactions, leaving much open to interpretation.
