VIENNA (Reuters) -The head of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization, or CTBTO, said on Thursday that any explosive nuclear weapon test would be harmful for global non-proliferation efforts and peace and security.

In a statement issued after U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the U.S. military to immediately resume testing nuclear weapons, Robert Floyd, CTBTO Executive Secretary said he was aware of public remarks that draw attention to ongoing concerns about nuclear weapons testing.

"Any explosive nuclear weapon test by any state would be harmful and destabilising for global non-proliferation efforts and for international peace and security. The CTBTO's monitoring system stands ready to detect any such test and provide the data to CTBT States Signatories," Floyd said.

"Like others, I see in this complex and challenging moment an opportunity for world leaders to step forward and work together,  on an equal basis, towards the ratification of the CTBT and the shared goal of a world free from nuclear weapons testing," he added.
