New bill introduced that would stop a president from using nuclear bombs on a hurricane

In August 2019, President Donald Trump asked senior Homeland Security and national security officials to look into using nuclear bombs to “stop hurricanes from hitting the US,” Axios reported. After the Axios report, Trump denied ever making those claims. Now, a congresswoman has introduced a bill that would prohibit the president from using nukes on hurricanes. Rep.
