Trump promised to build a missile defense system to protect the US from hypersonic weapons

WASHINGTON, January 27 – RIA Novosti. Former US President Donald Trump has promised to build a missile defense system that will protect America from hypersonic nuclear weapons if re-elected in 2024.

In a video message, he said the world had become “much more dangerous” under his successor, Joe Biden, and warned that World War III would be an “unprecedented disaster”, against which the first two world wars would look like “very small wars”. ”

“There is no greater danger than the deadly threat of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles. With nuclear weapons, they can destroy entire cities and even countries in minutes. And we can’t let that happen,” Trump said.

Trump has pledged to work with Congress and “our illustrious military leaders” and will appoint current leaders to build “a state-of-the-art next-generation missile defense shield.”

“We must be able to protect our country, our allies, and our military installations around the world from the threat of hypersonic missiles, no matter where they are launched from. Our enemies must understand that it is they, not the United States, who will do this.” “If they dare launch missiles at our country, they will be completely destroyed,” Trump said.

The United States has long withdrawn from the ABM deal with Russia, but claims its capabilities do not allow it to fend off massive nuclear missile attacks from Russia or China.
