According to today's Russian RT report, US President trump claimed that the report that US President trump proposed to use nuclear weapons to blow up the hurricane before the hurricane arrived in the United States was untrue, saying it was "absurd" false news.
Trump said on twitter on Monday: "the story reported by the US News website Axios that President trump wants to blow up a major hurricane with nuclear weapons before the hurricane makes landfall is absurd. I never said, it's just another fake news! "
Earlier, Axios quoted an unnamed government source as saying that trump urged senior officials of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Department of national security to explore the use of nuclear weapons to prevent hurricanes from hitting the United States. Axios also said that Trump's proposal has never been seriously regarded as a policy.
The White House declined to comment. Trump did not first propose the use of nuclear weapons to blow up hurricanes. Someone put forward this idea decades ago, but the scientific community considered it a bad idea and ignored it.
