Sullivan Statement on North Korea’s Ballistic Missile Test
ANCHORAGE, AK – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) released the following statement today regarding North Korea's ballistic missile test:
“Yesterday’s missile test by North Korea - and the two recent tests by Iran - are just the latest reasons why the U.S. needs to invest in a much stronger missile defense system. Both of these rogue nations aspire to have nuclear weapons that they can use to threaten American cities. When, not if, the unstable leaders of North Korea and Iran get this capability, the American people will need to know that the Congress saw this coming and that we have a robust missile defense system that will keep us safe and serve as a vital insurance policy against nuclear threats from rogue nations. The costs and benefits of a comprehensive missile defense system demand action now. I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, as well as the Trump administration, on this important issue.”
