Reference News Network reported on May 28 that according to a report from Newsweek's website on May 27, both Russia and North Korea criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's recent announcement of the "Stargate" anti-missile system and issued warnings about its potential consequences.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova urged Washington to abandon the deployment of weapons in space and said that the "Stargate" system would undermine strategic stability.
Zakharova made these remarks at a press conference on the morning of May 27.
According to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), North Korea's Foreign Ministry described the "Stargate" system as "the root cause of turning outer space into a potential nuclear battlefield."
The report stated that Trump recently unveiled his administration's preferred plan for the "Stargate" program - a massive plan costing $17.5 billion.
Trump said he expected the system to be fully operational by the end of his term. He added that the system would be able to intercept missiles even if they were launched from space.
China has also recently urged the United States to abandon the "Stargate" program. (Translated by Zhang Lin)
