17 January 2019 Donald Trump will present today the new anti-missile defense strategy of the United States, intended to respond to the threats posed by the new armaments of Russia and China, but also of Iran and North Korea. The President is expected to attend the Pentagon where he will be accompanied by Vice President Mike Pence, National Security Advisor John Bolton, and senior defense officials and officers.

The president will illustrate the analysis document originally requested in 2017, and in which - according to CNN - we are talking about new projects capable of protecting the United States, in particular from hypersonic missiles and Cruise missiles from China and Russia, practically not interceptable once launched. To follow its movements, it is planned to use special sensors, modernizing technologies already deployed in space. The Pentagon also reserves the right to start a study on a new anti-missile technology - interceptors or lasers - permanently present in orbit.

For the American administration, this is the first defense analysis from that wanted by Barack Obama in 2010 and it was necessary - according to the sources of the administration quoted by the CNN - "to cope with the big changes that have occurred in terms of potential threats. "
