Donald Trump suggests nuking hurricanes before landfall



WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump suggested dropping nuclear bombs on hurricanes before they made landfall in the United States, Axios reported on Sunday.

During a hurricane briefing, Mr. Trump asked if it were possible to disrupt hurricanes forming off the coast of Africa by dropping a nuclear bomb in the eye of the storm, Axios wrote.

According to an anonymous source, meeting attendees left the briefing thinking, “What do we do with this?”. Axios did not say when this conversation took place.
