Trump suggests using atomic bombs to fight hurricanes.
Monday, August 26, 2019.
WASHINGTON (AFP) - President Donald Trump has suggested dropping nuclear bombs on hurricanes before they hit the United States, the US news website Axios said yesterday.
According to Axios, Trump asked at a hurricane meeting whether it would be possible, to prevent them from forming completely at sea, to drop an atomic bomb on their center.
OLD IDEA
According to an anonymous source quoted by Axios, the people who attended the meeting came out perplexed. The site does not specify when this meeting would have taken place.
The idea put forward by Donald Trump is not new, however Axios specifies. It was originally issued in the 1950s by a scientist who worked for the US government, under the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower.
Since then, the idea has resurfaced regularly, although there is a scientific consensus that it would not work.
According to Axios, Mr Trump had already asked for a first time, in 2017, whether his administration should bomb hurricanes to prevent them from touching the ground.
In this conversation, the president had not mentioned the possible use of nuclear bombs, said the site.
