Under Trump, GOP to Give Space Weapons Close Look, Roll Call
“Coming soon are a greater number of more capable anti-missile interceptors and radars deployed around the globe – on land, at sea and possibly in space, say these legislators and experts, several of whom have consulted with President-elect Donald Trump’s advisers. …Trump’s thoughts on missile defense and military space programs have gotten next to no attention, as compared to the president-elect’s other defense proposals, such as growing the Army and building more warships. As a candidate, Trump said little on the subject.”
Keith’s note: I’m sure that all of the experts mentioned in this article know how these systems work and are talking to people who talk to people who might talk to Trump’s people. But at the present time there is no Trump space policy. So, at best, this is all semi-informed speculation. But, given other rhetoric associated with those lawmakers who will be asking questions at future hearings, it is not idle speculation to expect that more of a focus on overt weaponry in space may be on the horizon.
I look forward to your TrumpSpace articles, Keith, if only for the reuse of that great Trumpsternaut pic!
