Washington: US President Donald Trump came to power with the promise that he would end endless wars, but his administration is now adopting weapons that have been banned by more than 160 countries of the world. Deadly weapons like cluster bombs and anti-personal land mines are being prepared for future use. These weapons are becoming an important part of the US Defense Department Pentagon's future war plans. However, no concrete justification has been given as to why it is to be used.

According to the information received, US Defense Minister Mark Asper supports such new policies related to weapons. This change can be noted from the time when Jim Mattis was the Defense Minister in the year 2017. It is being said that in a military strategy draft that came at that time, Russia and China were described as the main rival of America. They both have notable land forces and used landmines to stop enemy forces on the battlefield.

Policy changes as a result of extensive discussion: Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman told reporters on Monday that the policy was being changed as a result of extensive discussions with various defense branches. He refused to say on whose direction the policy was being changed. Former Defense Department officials said that during the analysis of the incident of Russia's attack and the separation of Crimea from Ukraine, the administration had debated land mines and other weapons that had been denied. In November 2017, Mattis canceled a 2008 memo. In this memo, the order to ban the use of almost all cluster weapons and destroy their stockpiles was ordered. These weapons were being prepared for the Third World War with the Soviet Union.
