The Soviet Union had exploded its own nuclear bomb (a fission bomb) in 1949, and Truman wanted the United States to stay ahead of the Soviet Union... as did lots of other people. So a fusion bomb (more powerful than a fission bomb, but used a fission reaction to set off a fusion reaction) was developed.
