WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Donald Trump is turning his sights to "new threats" posed by ballistic advances by Russia and China with an ambitious space-based missile defense strategy, reminiscent of the "Star Wars" shield proposed by Ronald Reagan in 1983.
The new plan forms a key part of the Department of Defense's Missile Defense Review released this week, marking the first update of that policy in nine years. At its core lies Trump's deep-seated concern that America's biggest rivals are not playing by the same rules.
