Pentagon pushes for new, low-yield nuclear weaponsThe US military wants to revamp its nuclear arsenal and develop new low-yield atomic weapons, largely in response to Russian actions in recent years, the Pentagon said in a policy statement released Friday. The so-called Nuclear Posture Review outlines the Pentagon's nuclear ambitions under President Donald Trump and is the first time since 2010 that the military has spelled out how it foresees nuclear threats in the coming decades. "The strategy develops capabilities aimed at making use of nuclear weapons less likely," Trump said in a statement.
