First off, if you need this for an essay or quiz for class, do NOT write Hydrogen Bomb! You mean an atom bomb, which uses nuclear fission. Hydrogen Bombs were created after WWII, and have never been used in warfare. They are about the equivalent of 1,000 atom bombs. They actually have an atom bomb inside them, so when it explodes it provide the conditions necessary to detonate the rest of the bomb. So don't say hydrogen bomb.
Second of all, since the Manhattan Project was top secret, only the President and a few others knew of it. Truman was unaware until Roosevelt Died in April 1945; he was informed of it when he became president.

Harry S. Truman
Only two atomic bombs were used against man kind in war and neither of those were a thermonuclear or hydrogen bomb.
Truman ordered the production of a hydrogen bomb as a response to the Soviet Union developing their own atomic bomb. He wanted to ensure that the United States maintained a strategic advantage in nuclear weapons during the Cold War.
The goal was to discourage the Soviet Union from attacking free nations.
Truman authorized the development of the hydrogen bomb to ensure that the United States remained technologically advanced and could deter potential threats during the Cold War. The H-bomb was seen as a more powerful deterrent against the Soviet Union and other adversaries than the atomic bomb.
President Truman responded by moving forward with a new nuclear weapon. He also created the Truman Doctrine to contain the advancement of communism by providing support to any nation threatened by communism.

He didn’t. The Manhattan project was started several years before it was used. The bomb was all ready there when he took office.
