A top U.S. commander in the Pacific on Wednesday said he believes Hawaii needs more missile interceptors in response to the growing threat on North Korea and Pyongyang’s capability to launch a rocket. The Hawaii House Public Safety Committee called for the state’s defense agency to repair its hundreds of Cold War-era fallout shelters. The admiral’s comments came shortly before the Trump administration held a closed-door briefing with senators on North Korea. President Trump's secretary of state, defense secretary, top general and national intelligence director were on hand to lay out the North’s escalating nuclear capabilities. “With each provocation, North Korea jeopardizes stability in Northeast Asia and poses a growing threat to our allies and the U.S. homeland.”Click for more from Reuters.
