President Trump has made it clear as the Commander in Chief he will ensure the U.S. military will be prepared for any situation under his leadership. On Wednesday night, Trump in a post on Truth Social announced he has ordered the Department of War to start testing its nuclear weapons Trump stated he had “no choice” but to make the decision after other countries such as Russia have began testing their nuclear arsenals. Fox News reported more on Trump’s recent decision to conduct monthly nuclear tests: President Donald Trump announced that he has ordered the United States to resume nuclear weapons testing “immediately,” saying he directed the Department of War to match other nations’ programs. He called the move a necessary step to maintain global parity. Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Wednesday night: “The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office.” “Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years,” Trump said. “Because of other countries’ testing programs, I have instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis. That process will begin immediately.” Trump made the comments during a conversation with reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday morning, saying the U.S. is “not playing games” with Putin. “Russia said this week that they’ve tested a new missile that can go more than 8,000 miles. Is that saber-rattling for you? What is that?” a reporter asked. Read Trump’s full post below: Trump just ordered an increase in nuclear weapons testing 45 minutes before he meets with Xi Jinping.

The low-flying experimental weapon, first announced in 2018, has been hailed as having a potentially unlimited range and the ability to evade missile defences. Western experts have previously cast doubt over missile’s strategic value and Russian claims of having successfully tested it. Putin said a “final successful test” of the weapon had been held in 2023, but the claim could not be independently verified. Of at least 13 known tests, only two had partial success since 2016, according to an arms control campaign group. Gen Gerasimov said the missile was in the air for 15 hours during the test on 21 October. He said the missile’s vertical and horizontal manoevreing were tested and were found to be up to specification, according to Russia’s Tass news agency. “Therefore, it demonstrated high capabilities to bypass missile and air defence systems,” Tass reported Gen Gerasimov as saying. The missile’s utility has been the subject of intense debate in military and defences circles since it was first announced in 2018. A 2021 report by the US Air Force’s National Air and Space Intelligence Center concluded: “A nuclear-powered cruise missile would give Russia a unique weapon with intercontinental range capability.”

Vice President JD Vance appears to have young conservative voters backing. On Wednesday night, Vice President JD Vance took the stage at a TPUSA Event at the University of Mississippi and was met with a standing ovation. As Vance stood behind the podium, he was met with “48” chants. In response Vance told the crowd, “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.” Watch the moment here: HOLY CRAP! The TPUSA crowd of thousands just went HAYWIRE and started chanting “48! ” at JD VANCE! CROWD: *Standing ovation* VANCE: Thank you! Please! I- CROWD MEMBER: 48!

Other conservatives, such as Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson, have attended other campus stops in recent weeks. Vance was a close personal friend of Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA founder, who was shot and killed in September during a campus event at Utah Valley University. Erika Kirk has since taken over as head of Turning Point USA. Vance later drew applause when he told the questioner his job as vice president “is not to look out for the interests of the world; it’s to look out for the people of the United States.” One student asked Vance whether President Trump had a conflict of interest in setting policy toward Israel because one of his top donors, Miriam Adelson, was a staunch advocate of pro-Israel policies. Vance said he did not see a conflict of interest, noting Adelson is open about her views. One attendee asked Vance about the issue of requiring Christianity in public schools, while another asked the vice president how he planned to extend an olive branch to Democrats to close the social and political divide in the country. Vance noted he had areas of agreement with Democrats on policy, including on breaking up corporate monopolies. At one point, those in attendance chanted “48” at Vance, a nod to a potential 2028 run to serve as the 48th president. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, ladies and gentlemen,” Vance said.

Despair is a sin. Keep on fighting for this country in Charlie’s memory pic.twitter.com/1722SzwS0c — JD Vance (@JDVance) October 30, 2025 NBC News reported Vance shared to the crowd one of his last phone conversations with Kirk: Vice President JD Vance recalled here Wednesday an angry phone call from conservative activist Charlie Kirk in the months before his death — an example, Vance said, of his late friend’s commitment to firm but polite debate. Kirk, Vance said, was worried whether President Donald Trump’s posture in the Middle East would lead to a long and protracted military conflict involving U.S. troops. Vance, speaking to supporters of Kirk’s Turning Point USA organization at the University of Mississippi, called it a “great moment for our country” and for his friendship with Kirk, “because friendship is not just about telling everybody what they want to hear.” “It’s about having the trust in another human being that you can tell them they’re wrong and actually encourage them to change their mind or, in that case, not necessarily even tell us that we were wrong but make sure that we were thinking about all the options,” Vance added. Kirk, 31, was killed during an appearance last month at Utah Valley University. Kirk, a conservative activist who was a close ally of Vance and Trump, was known for taking his message to college campuses, energizing others on the right and relishing debate with those on the left.

An emergency on an incoming flight forced a ground stop at New York City’s John F. Kennedy International Airport. “The FAA says Frontier Airlines Flight 3546 landed safely at JFK around 12:45 p.m. after the crew reported an engine problem,” NBC New York stated. The ground stop was issued from 12:30 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. JUST IN – FAA issues ground stop of JFK airport after "aircraft emergency" reported. pic.twitter.com/4GDpPd8UFs — Disclose.tv (@disclosetv) October 30, 2025 NBC New York shared more: Officials say the Airbus A320 had departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in Puerto Rico. No other details were immediately available. All inbound flights were being held at their origin until 1:45 p.m. Meanwhile, low clouds had inbound flights delayed by about three-and-a-half hours — and departures were delayed about an hour for weather, too. The FAA says its investigation is ongoing. The ground stop at JFK follows the FAA halting flights at Newark Liberty International Airport Wednesday afternoon due to “staffing issues.” Flights were halted at the major East Coast hub for 75 minutes. Flights HALTED At Major Airport Amid Government Shutdown Daily Mail shared: No aircraft were allowed to take off from the airport until the ground stop cleared, causing a major backup for travelers. Officials with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey revealed that the emergency took place on board Frontier Airlines Flight 3546 arriving from San Juan. Flight tracking website Flightradar24 noted that Flight 3546 signaled a code 7700, which is a general emergency call used when there's a medical problem on board, a mechanical trouble, or something urgent that needs priority help. Frontier Airlines has told the Daily Mail that the plane's captain declared an emergency as a precautionary measure after experiencing a mechanical issue on the approach into JFK. The Port Authority added the plane landed safely at 12.50pm and there were no injuries reported on board. A Frontier spokesperson noted that Flight 3546 is now undergoing an evaluation to see what went wrong during the flight.

President Donald Trump said he discussed numerous issues with Chinese communist leader Xi Jinping on Thursday, including a potential trade deal and the war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump and Xi spoke for about an hour and 40 minutes in South Korea, the last leg of Trump’s weeklong trip to Asia. During the summit, Trump was joined by multiple top White House officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. “Overall, I guess on the scale of from zero to 10, with 10 being the best, I would say the meeting was a 12,” Trump said. The president said that he and Xi have “come to conclusions on very many important points,” adding that a trade deal could be signed “pretty soon.” .@POTUS on his meeting with President Xi: “I thought it was an amazing meeting… a lot of decisions were made, too — there wasn’t too much left out there, and we’ve come to conclusion on many very important points.” pic.twitter.com/cr81Yojr24 — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) October 30, 2025 Here are the key points that Trump and Xi discussed: Rare Earth Minerals Trump secured an important win for the United States and the rest of the world on rare earth minerals, with Xi agreeing to pause export controls for one year. Trump said China’s pause could be “very routinely extended as time goes by.” Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade. Get everything for $7 a month. Not as fans. As fighters.

That will hopefully disappear from our vocabulary for a little while.” Tariffs and Fentanyl Trump said that tariffs on China will be slashed from 57% to 47% after Xi promised that his country would take more action to prevent fentanyl from being trafficked into the United States. “On fentanyl, we agreed that he was going to work very hard to stop the flow,” Trump told reporters as he flew back to the United States on Air Force One. “It’s a very complex subject because it’s used for lots of different reasons, including anesthetics and things, but he’s going to work very hard on it.” Trump added that he is hopeful that China will take “some real action.” After Xi promised to address the issue, Trump said that his 20% tariff on China that was imposed in response to fentanyl trafficking will be reduced to 10%, dropping the overall tariff rate on the communist country to 47%, “effective immediately.” Trump Trip to China President Trump said he will travel to China in April for continuing talks, while Xi will visit the United States “some time after that.” Trump said he expects a trade deal with China to happen “pretty soon.” “The whole relationship is very important, and I think [the meeting] was very good,” Trump added. Oil and Gas While no deal was reached on China purchasing oil and gas from Alaska during the summit, Trump said he’s optimistic that an agreement will be signed in the future. The president added that Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum will meet with Chinese officials to continue oil and gas negotiations. Computer Chips Xi promised to discuss the potential purchase of computer chips from U.S. tech companies, such as Nvidia, according to Trump. “I said that’s really between you and Nvidia, but we’re sort of the arbitrator or the referee,” Trump said, adding that it would be “good for us” if China bought more chips from the United States. Ukraine-Russia War The ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia “came up” during Trump’s meeting with Xi, and the two leaders “talked about it for a long time,” according to Trump. Xi has been friendly with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and China has been accused of sending military equipment to Russia during the war. “We’re both going to work together to see if we can get something done,” Trump said. “We agree that the sides are locked in fighting, and sometimes you have to let them fight, I guess. But he’s going to help us, and we’re going to work together on Ukraine.” China also buys large amounts of oil from Russia, but Trump said that topic didn’t come up during the meeting. “Ukraine came up very strongly. We talked about it for a long time, and we’re both going to work together to see if we can get something done,” says @POTUS on his meeting with President Xi. “We’re going to work together on Ukraine.” pic.twitter.com/ygzOKy9Gvn — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) October 30, 2025 Taiwan ‘Not Discussed’ Trump also said that Taiwan “never came up” during the meeting. Xi has long had his sights set on Taiwan, a vital island nation that currently manufactures around 90% of the world’s most advanced semiconductors. “It was not discussed, actually,” he said. Farm Products Xi promised that China would purchase American soybeans, sorghum, and other farm products. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added during an interview with Fox Business that China would buy 12 million metric tons of American soybeans before the end of the year and 25 million metric tons over the next three years. Listen to Trump’s remarks below:

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins caught House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in an outright lie about the ongoing government shutdown, pushing back immediately when he claimed that Republican leaders were not engaging on the issues that might finally get the government reopened. Collins spoke with Jeffries on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Source,” on the eve of the shutdown’s 30th day, and she challenged him directly on his claim that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was not willing to even sit down and “have a conversation” with him. WATCH: CNN’s Kaitlan Collins: “You said that Mike Johnson isn’t willing to sit down and have a conversation. Y’all did have a phone conversation, I believe you said earlier today.

Y’all did have a phone conversation, I believe you said earlier today,” Collins pointed out. “Who — who initiated that call? Was that you or was that Speaker Johnson?” “It was a call from Mike Johnson,” Jeffries admitted. “It was very brief and it wasn’t a substantive discussion in terms of finding a path forward.” Collins pressed again, asking, “But was he calling to talk about the government shutdown?” Join us now during our exclusive Deal of the Decade.

However, nothing meaningful came out of it, again, because Donald Trump has not given Mike Johnson permission to enter into a bipartisan negotiation.” Jeffries then reverted to his previous talking point, claiming that Republicans had been on vacation for the last five weeks. Collins also played a clip of Jeffries from 2013 — in which he claimed that government shutdowns caused unnecessary pain to the American people and demanded the passage of a clean continuing resolution — and then asked Jeffries whether he had changed. “The Hakeem Jeffries of today definitively agrees with the Hakeem Jeffries of yesterday,” Jeffries claimed — despite the fact that Republicans have repeatedly offered Democrats the chance to reopen the government via a clean CR — and then attempted to explain why demanding the exact opposite now was somehow the same.
