Trump says US will restart nuclear weapons testingĀ 

President Donald Trump says he has instructed the Pentagon to immediately start testing nuclear weapons, citing a need to match ā€œother countries [sic] testing programs.ā€

Trump’s post on Truth Social included very few details on the nature of the tests, but says the ā€œprocess will begin immediately.ā€ It’s not clear whether Trump is referring to explosive tests of nuclear warheads or tests of systems capable of delivering them.

The comments — arriving just before his anticipated meeting with China’s Xi Jinping, which resulted in reduced tariffs on Chinese imports — appear to upend decades of American policy. The last US nuclear test was in 1992, before George HW Bush enacted a moratorium at the end of the Cold War.

Trump’s post was riddled with errors: Russia, not the US, has the world’s largest nuclear stockpile, and no country, with the exception of North Korea, is confirmed to have tested nuclear weapons since the 1990s, according to the UN. The US is also a signatory to the international treaty banning nuclear weapons tests, though has not ratified it.

Bob Iger is returning to Thrive Capital as an advisor, just one month after stepping down as CEO of Disney, a role he held for nearly two decades.

Iger previously served a two-month stint as a venture partner at the firm in late 2022, but left when the Disney board asked him to retake the helm of the media conglomerate, following his initial departure from the company in 2020.

ā€œBob leads with boldness and conviction because he knows what he is building and why. He is rejoining Thrive at a time when that kind of leadership matters most,ā€ Thrive’s founder Josh Kushner posted on X.

Iger, who already owns a stake in the firm, will work with Thrive’s investment staff and portfolio founders, the Wall Street Journal reported. However, his advisory role will likely not require a full-time commitment.

Thrive manages over $50 billion in assets, according to PitchBook. In February, the firm announced that it raised $10 billion in capital commitments for its 10th fund, the largest in the firm’s 17-year history. Thrive holds significant stakes in OpenAI, Stripe, and SpaceX. The firm also amassed a 7% ownership stake in Cursor, whose potential sale to SpaceX could be worth about $4.2 billion, Bloomberg reported.
