US president references #China & #Russia in Truth Social post shortly before meeting with President #Xi Jinping

The post came less than an hour before #Trump is set to meet with #China president #Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday morning in an effort to come to a trade war truce.
Trump’s missive on Wednesday night also arrived on the heels of him describing Vladimir Putin’s announcement of a #nuclear-powered cruise missile test as “not appropriate”. Trump made those comments after #Putin said that #Russia had successfully tested its “unique” nuclear-capable Burevestnik cruise missile….
Earlier in his post on Wednesday, #Trump also falsely noted that the #US has more #NuclearWeapons than any other country. #Russia currently has the most confirmed nuclear weapons, with >5,500 nuclear warheads while the US has 5,044 nuclear weapons, per the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
The last nuclear test by the US, codenamed “Divider,” was carried out on 23 Sept 1992 at what is now called the Nevada National Security Site.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s expressions of opening for talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have been met, so far, with silence — and tests of nuclear-capable missiles. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/29/asia-pacific/north-korea-missile-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #northkorea #nuclearweapons #missiles #donaldtrump #kimjongun #defense #southkorea
#Energy Secy Wright said the systems would "supercharge" advances in #NuclearPower & #fusion energy, #technologies for #defense & #NationalSecurity, & the development of #drugs.
Scientists & companies are trying to replicate fusion, the reaction that fuels the sun, by jamming light atoms in a plasma gas under intense heat & pressure to release massive amounts of energy.

…"We're going to get just massively faster progress using the computation from these #AI systems that I believe will have practical pathways to harness #fusion #energy in the next 2 or 3 years."
Wright said the #supercomputers would also help manage the US arsenal of #NuclearWeapons [Skynet anyone?] & accelerate #drug discovery by simulating ways to treat #cancer down to the
molecular level.
