The US apparently wants to invest heavily in new missile defense technology to counter threats from North Korea, Iran, China and Russia, for example. President Donald Trump plans to announce plans today at the Pentagon, a White House government official announced yesterday (local time).
Possible investments include systems that are stationed in space. According to information from the Washington Post, high-power lasers are also to be procured, which can destroy enemy missiles shortly after their launch. All weapons are completely defensive oriented and aimed exclusively at warding off possible attacks.
It is also about better protecting US forces stationed in Europe and Asia. The US missile defense was last reviewed in 2010. Since then, there have been significant changes in the security environment. It should now be responded to.
