Russia condemns Trump's order to build new missile defense shield, fearing it will weaken Russian and Chinese nuclear deterrence.
Russia on Friday (January 31, 2025) condemned an order by U.S. President Donald Trump to build a new missile defence shield, saying it was designed to weaken Russian and Chinese nuclear deterrence.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Russia saw the move as confirmation of a U.S. intention to turn space into a theatre of military confrontation.
Trump signed an order on Monday for the implementation of a next-generation U.S. missile defense shield against ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missile and other forms of aerial attack.
