President Trump has called nuclear weapons "the single greatest problem the world has" – but he's also made some controversial statements about them. “The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes,” he tweeted Dec. 22. “What he was very clear on is that the United States will not yield its supremacy in this area to anybody,” Spicer said. While it’s impossible to know exactly how many nuclear weapons each nuclear nation has (such things are generally not public information), the Federation of American Scientists puts together estimates. If Trump’s concerned about Russia having slightly more nuclear weapons than us, well, it has for some time.
