US President Donald Trump dismissed the controversy as “fake news” about the controversy that leaked the existence of a classified nuclear weapons system during a conversation with ‘Watergate’ special reporter Bob Woodward.
According to US Congressional outlet The Hill, President Trump told the audience at the Freeland campaign site in Michigan on the 10th (local time) that Woodward wrote in his new book ‘Rage’, “The President boasted of a confidential nuclear weapons system for me. ” I was sick ”and expressed strong dissatisfaction.
President Trump said: “I just wanted people to know that we have the best systems, equipment and people from every country in the world. There is no one like the United States Army. “This seems to be a conscious comment on the controversy that recent American soldiers were demoted as” Hogu “and” more lost. ”
“We have a system that I have never seen before,” he said. Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have no such thing. “” But they said he might be leaking confidential information, “President Trump said. They are sick.” Never speak kindly about our technology because it may reveal confidential information. ” .
He said no. I mean, we have some of the best weapons in the world. ”
Woodward wrote in his upcoming new book ‘Anger’, “President Trump discussed how close North Korea and the United States are to nuclear war in an interview in 2017 and discussed America’s weapons system.”
According to Woodward, President Trump told him: “I made a nuclear weapon. It is a weapon system that no one had before in this country. We have things you haven’t seen or heard of. ”At the time, Woodward said the president was surprised by the sudden release of military secrets.
In this regard, James Acton, director of nuclear policy at the Carnegie International Peace Fund, estimated that “President Trump may have referred to a submarine launch ballistic missile (SLBM) equipped with a low-power nuclear warhead.”
President Trump also told reporters before boarding the plane that day: “We have excellent weapons. No, I am not talking about confidentiality, I am talking about what we are doing. “We are making great weapons.”
When asked if they shared confidential information about the nuclear weapons system with Woodward, he avoided a specific answer, saying, “Our military is stronger than ever.”
