Trump suggests \'nuking hurricanes\' to stop them hitting America

US president Donald Trump has reportedly suggested on at least two occasions that the US military should bomb hurricanes in order to disrupt them before they make landfall.

Iran Press/ America: The US news website Axios (www.axios.com) reported that US president Donald Trump in a recent meeting with top national security and homeland security officials to discuss the threat of hurricanes, has suggested to nuke hurricanes' to stop them hitting America.

"They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they’re moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can’t we do that?," Trump said in the meeting.

Quoting unnamed sources who were present at the meeting, Axios reports that the response from one official was "We’ll look into this."

Axios reports that Trump raised the same issue on another occasion with a senior administration official. This conversation was apparently recorded in a 2017 national security council memo which used the term 'nuclear' in reference to the conversation.
