Trump Puts U.S. Nuclear Arsenal at Risk? Trump’s ‘Unaware’ Officials Fire Key NNSA Employees

Trump, In a stunning move, fired over 300 employees at the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) as part of sweeping Energy Department layoffs under the Trump administration. Sources claim officials overseeing the cuts were unaware that NNSA manages the U.S. nuclear stockpile, raising alarm about national security risks. The Department of Energy (DOE) later disputed the number, stating that "less than 50" administrative staff were affected. Following backlash from lawmakers and security experts, NNSA began reversing some terminations, but concerns remain about the oversight of America's nuclear weapons program. #TrumpNuclearChaos #USNationalSecurity #NNASFirings #TrumpAdministration #NuclearWeapons #EnergyDepartment #SecurityRisk #NuclearStockpile #USDefense #BreakingNews #TrumpFiringSpree #CongressConcern #NationalSecurityThreat #DOEControversy #NuclearCrisis Also Read As Trump Set To Arm India With F-35 Stealth Fighters, Pakistan Expresses Deep Concern :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/as-trump-set-to-arm-india-with-f-35-stealth-fighters-pakistan-expresses-deep-concern-4071961.html?ref=DMDesc US Army Bars Transgender People From Enlisting In Military With Immediate Effect :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-army-bars-transgender-people-from-enlisting-in-military-with-immediate-effect-4071757.html?ref=DMDesc India Slashes Bourbon Whiskey Tariff from 150% to 100% After Trump’s Remarks :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-slashes-bourbon-whiskey-tariff-from-150-to-100-after-trump-s-remarks-4071661.html?ref=DMDesc

From Rafale to F-35: How is Trump’s Stealth Fighter Offer a Game-Changer for India’s Air Power?

From Rafale to F-35: In a landmark defense proposal, former U.S. President Donald Trump has offered India the cutting-edge F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter jet, potentially transforming the country’s air combat capabilities. The F-35, hailed as the world's most advanced fifth-generation fighter, boasts unparalleled stealth, superior electronic warfare systems, and unmatched situational awareness. If India accepts the deal, it would mark a significant shift in its defense strategy, moving beyond the Rafale jets toward a future dominated by American military technology. However, the decision comes with major geopolitical and economic considerations, including India’s long-standing defense ties with Russia, the high costs of acquisition and maintenance, and the need for advanced infrastructure to operate these jets effectively. #F35Deal #F35India #StealthFighters #IndiaUSDefense #ModiTrump #TrumpModiMeeting #USIndiaPartnership #FighterJetDeal #DefenseStrategy #AirSuperiority #F35LightningII #MilitaryPower #Geopolitics #AerospaceTechnology #GlobalDefense ~HT.318~ED.103~PR.152~GR.344~
