CNBC News:
Top Boeing executive Leanne Caret said Wednesday that the current missile defense system the company has would protect the continental U.S. from an attack.
In an exclusive interview with CNBC, Caret said “yes” when asked if the missile defense capabilities in place would protect the U.S. She says the system is “doing exactly what is needed” to counterattack if North Korea were to launch a missile.
“I had the opportunity to be there for the test at the end of May,” Caret said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” “We hit a bullet with a bullet.”
