Mayor of Nagasaki blasts Trump's nuclear testing plan

US President Donald Trump has no business being considered for the Nobel Peace Prize if he resumes nuclear tests, Shiro Suzuki, the mayor of Nagasaki, which was bombed by the United States in August 1945, said.

"Trump wants to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I think we need to decide on this after analyzing what he is doing. However, as a resident of a city that was bombed by atomic bombs, I believe that if nuclear weapons tests began immediately, then [he] would not be worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize," he said at a press conference.

Earlier, Satoshi Tanaka, one of the leaders of the Nihon Hidankyo Japanese Association, which unites people who survived the American atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, admitted that he was "speechless" after US President Donald Trump said the US was going to resume nuclear weapons tests.
