Trump says he’s “very honoured” by DeSantis endoursement

Published

on

Former President Donald Trump has conveyed his deep sense of honor after receiving the endorsement of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

Trump stated that he looks forward to joining forces with him to defeat President Joe Biden.

DeSantis recently announced the suspension of his 2024 presidential campaign, throwing his support behind Trump.

Trump, responding to the endorsement, expressed his gratitude, saying, “I am very honored to have his endorsement. I look forward to working together with him to beat Joe Biden, who is the worst and most corrupt president in the history of our country.”

DeSantis withdraws

The Florida governor officially revealed his decision to withdraw from the presidential race in a video posted on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) on Sunday afternoon.

In his announcement, DeSantis explained his choice, stating, “It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance.

“They watched his presidency get stymied by relentless resistance, and they see Democrats using lawfare to this day to attack him.

“While I have had disagreements with Donald Trump, such as on the coronavirus pandemic and his elevation of Anthony Fauci, Trump is superior to the current incumbent, Joe Biden. That is clear.”

Not the way forward

DeSantis emphasised that he endorsed Trump because he believes returning to the old Republican establishment is not the way forward. He criticized it as a “repackaged form of warmed-over corporatism,” particularly pointing out Nikki Haley as a representative of this approach.

Trump’s victory in the Iowa Caucuses last Monday solidified his frontrunner status, with a significant lead in New Hampshire ahead of Nikki Haley.

In Short:
– Trump ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear testing, risking global tensions and retaliation from other nations.
– Proliferation concerns are rising as nuclear states modernise arsenals and the New START Treaty nears expiration.
US President Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing immediately, aiming to align with testing programs from other countries according to the conversation.Resuming explosive nuclear tests would likely trigger retaliatory responses from nuclear-armed nations like Russia and China, worsening the arms race and increasing global risks.

The potential for worldwide radioactive fallout remains high, even for underground tests. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by 187 states, prohibits such testing, yet the US remains a signatory without ratification, bound not to violate the treaty’s intent.

Nuclear weapon testing, once crucial for understanding weapon effects and military planning, has diminished. Since World War II, nuclear tests have largely focused on developing new designs. Significant environmental and health concerns led to a moratorium on atmospheric testing in the early 1960s and the Partial Test Ban Treaty in 1963.

Many countries, including the US, stopped explosive testing in the 1990s. Technological advancements allowed nations to develop nuclear weapons without the need for actual explosions.

Proliferation Risks

Nuclear proliferation continues, with all nine nuclear-armed states investing heavily in modernising their arsenals. This raises concerns about lowered thresholds for using such weapons.

Recent conflicts involving nuclear threats have escalated, and the number of nuclear weapons operationally available has begun to rise again. Russia has tested advanced nuclear weapons, while China is rapidly expanding its military capabilities.

The New START Treaty, which confines the nuclear capabilities of the US and Russia, is set to expire soon, with no successor treaty negotiations underway.

The Doomsday Clock has moved closer to midnight this year, highlighting the heightened dangers facing the world today.
