Vance says US nuclear arsenal needs testing to ensure proper functioning

Vice President JD Vance says that testing of the US nuclear arsenal will ensure it actually 'functions properly,' but does not elaborate on what type of tests President Donald Trump has ordered. 'It's an important part of American national security to make sure that this nuclear arsenal we have actually functions properly, and that's part of a testing regime,' Vance tells reporters at the White House when asked about Trump's social media post on ordering nuclear tests, adding that the president's statement 'speaks for itself.'
