Kim Jong Un has decided to walk back his recent threats to bomb the island of Guam, and for now, the world can breathe a collective sigh of relief. But how many times over the last few weeks have we all gone to bed wondering if tomorrow will be the day Kim Jong Un nukes the United States? And if it isn’t North Korea, then maybe it will be Iran? The world is an increasingly dangerous place, and President Trump’s missile defense budget needs to be passed quickly to provide the funding needed to protect the U.S. from foreign attackers.
In response to the recent threats from the increasingly paranoid and unpredictable N. Korean dictator, President Trump has stated: “We’re going to be increasing our budget by many billions of dollars because of North Korea and other reasons having to do with the anti-missile [defense program].“ Trump had originally requested a 5% decrease in spending on the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) program, but after new information became available that N. Korea has developed small nuclear weapons that can be attached to an Intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), he has acknowledged the immediate need to increase our missile defense capabilities.
