Luxon: New Zealand Would Discourage Trump from Nuclear Testing

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon of New Zealand expressed his intention to discourage Donald Trump from resuming nuclear weapons testing, planning to address the issue with the US President in the future. His remarks were made on the first day of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) leaders’ summit, where he also interacted with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japan’s new Prime Minister. This follows Luxon and Trump’s first in-person meeting, during which Trump praised New Zealand and Luxon.
