The Trump administration may soon propose a new program of tactical nuclear weapons in the face of threats from North Korea and potential nuclear adversaries like Iran, a report said.

The plan would reverse the Obama administration’s policy prohibiting new nukes — and, critics worry, could increase the chances they might actually be used, Politico reported Saturday.

The aging U.S. nuclear arsenal contains about 6,800 weapons, including 2,800 retired warheads that are set to be dismantled. North Korea has just 10 nuclear weapons, according to an Arms Control Association estimate.

Modern lower-yield “mini-nukes” would cause less damage than the strategic thermonuclear warheads that make up almost all of the U.S. arsenal, giving the Department of Defense a wider range of potential uses.

The recommendation would result from an ongoing Trump-ordered reassessment of the nation’s nuclear needs, Politico reported, citing unnamed administration sources.

But adding more nukes of any type would spark a fierce fight in Congress, which would have to approve their funding.
