In May of 2020, Trump boasted of a new missile under development, which he described as a “super duper missile” that travels “17 times faster than what they have right now.” While Trump promised that it would provide leverage over Russia and China, the Pentagon had no comment.

The remark came amid Trump’s unveiling of early details about the US Space Force, the first new military branch established since the US Air Force in 1947.

Trump continued to tout the missile throughout the year.
