ROGERS APPLAUDS PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE FUNDING

Congressman Mike Rogers made the following statement today regarding release of a fiscal year 2018 budget amendment.

“I want to commend President Trump for agreeing with us that our Nation needs additional missile defense resources in light of the evolving North Korean ballistic missile threats. The request from the Office of Management and Budget this week on behalf of President Trump will aid our push for increased discrimination capabilities and the addition of a new field at Fort Greely will help build our capacity.

I am proud to be able to work with President Trump to help further secure the homeland against these growing threats.  America is already more secure because of President Trump’s leadership.”
