Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered officials to submit proposals for a possible resumption of nuclear tests in response to President Donald Trump’s statements last month that appeared to suggest the U.S. will restart its own atomic tests. Speaking to his Security Council, Putin reaffirmed his earlier statement that Moscow will only restart nuclear tests if the U.S. does so first. But he directed defense and diplomatic officials to clarify Washington’s intentions and work out proposals for resuming nuclear weapons tests. Trump appeared to signal the U.S. will resume testing nuclear weapons, but U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright later said new tests of the U.S. nuclear weapons system ordered by Trump will not include nuclear explosions.

His speech comes after Democrats won resoundingly in multiple states on Tuesday, with exit polls showing economic worries were very much on the minds of voters. Trump told GOP senators at a breakfast meeting before leaving the White House that the 36-day government shutdown, now the longest on record, was a “big factor, negative” for the Republican party in the elections.

Officials at Gaza’s largest hospital say 15 more Palestinian bodies have been returned from Israel. This follows last month’s ceasefire agreement. The International Committee of the Red Cross has transported 285 bodies since the deal was brokered. Israel has been returning 15 bodies each time an Israeli hostage's remains are returned from Gaza. On Wednesday, the bodies were returned to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. The exchanges are part of a U.S.-brokered agreement, though both sides have accused each other of violations. The deal aims to wind down the war that began with a Hamas-led attack on Israel.
