Blocks government money from being used for nuclear test explosions without specific Congressional approval.
The HALT Act of 2025 would stop the government from spending money on nuclear test explosions unless the President reports on the nuclear stockpile and Congress passes a special resolution to approve it. It also directs the U.S. to lead international talks to freeze and reduce nuclear weapons globally, aiming to make the world safer from these threats.
Currently, the U.S. can conduct nuclear test explosions, though it has not done so in decades. This bill would make it much harder to conduct such tests by requiring both a presidential report on the nuclear stockpile and a specific vote from Congress. It would also shift U.S. foreign policy to actively seek a global freeze on nuclear weapons and related systems, rather than simply maintaining existing arms control treaties.
