$\"NewsHub\"$ President-elect Donald Trump responded to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un\u2019s Sunday announcement that his country\u2019s military is in the final stages of testing its first intercontinental ballistic missile.
Trump tweeted Monday evening that this \u201cwon\u2019t happen.\u201d
North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U. S. It won\u2019t happen!

Kim also stated that his goal was \u201cto cope against the vicious threats for nuclear war by the Imperialists.\u201d
China has been taking out massive amounts of money & wealth from the U. S. in totally one-sided trade, but won\u2019t help with North Korea. Nice!

Trump\u2019s aspirations may already be helped by a changes and provisions made in the National Defense Authorization Act. The NDAA was approved by Congress last November and included major changes by Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks.
One provision called on the military to start \u201cresearch, development, test and evaluation\u201d of space-based missile defense systems. Additionally, the word \u201climited\u201d was deleted from the nation\u2019s missile defense policy.
Since 1999, the U. S. had specified that the goal of its missile defense system was to stop a \u201climited\u201d or small-scale nuclear attack on American soil. The purpose of the \u201climited\u201d modifier was to keep the U. S. from an arms race in outer space, but the under the radar change happened without much talk of it and Congress dropped the restriction.
