(MENAFN) U.S. President Donald Trump has issued bleak warnings to allies and rivals, while unveiling a new missile defense plan, partly built in space, aimed at destroying "any missile launched against the United States anywhere, anytime, anyplace".
In a speech at the Pentagon the president detailed a six-point plan and warned allies that they needed to share the financial burden of defense pacts with the U.S. because America "cannot be the fools for others".
His plan includes 20 new ground base missile interceptors in Alaska and a space-based missile defense layer aligned with the president's new Space Force.
"So, wealthy, wealthy countries that we are protecting are all under notice," Trump added.
