Trump's Nuclear Testing Order Sparks Billions in Defense Contracts

President Donald Trump's directive to the Defense Department to resume nuclear weapons testing might generate significant contracts for specialized companies involved in the United States’ nuclear infrastructure.

Announced from South Korea, the order urges immediate testing, which hasn't occurred in the U.S. since 1992. President Trump’s decision to revive tests coincides with the modernization of intercontinental ballistic missiles.

This plan potentially benefits companies such as Honeywell International and BWX Technologies. Notably, it aligns with the procurement of new Sentinel missiles intended to replace the older Minuteman III system.
