Trump Discloses Space Missile Defense Strategy; New Space-Based Sensors Track Enemy Missiles

President Donald Trump has unveiled a revamped U.S. missile defense strategy involving a new layer of space-based sensors to detect and track enemy missiles, the Independent (British) website reports today (January 17, 2018).

The president announced the results of the review during a speech at the Pentagon.

In the review, he warned Iran and North Korea's missile capabilities present existing threats to U.S. and global security.

"The world is changing and we're going to change much faster than the rest of the world," the president said. "We must pursue advanced technology and research to guarantee the United States is several steps ahead of those who wish to do us harm."
