North Korea says US 'Golden Dome' risks 'space nuclear war'Pyongyang derided Donald Trump's recently announced defence system, which will be aimed at countering "next-generation" aerial threats including ballistic and cruise missiles. It accused Washington of being "hell-bent... to militarise outer space" and warned that the plan might spark "a global nuclear and space arms race". North Korea has criticised the US's plan for a futuristic "Golden Dome" missile shield , saying it could "turn outer space into a potential nuclear war field". North Korea considers Washington an adversary and has routinely condemned joint military drills between the US and South Korea. Beijing said last week that it is "seriously concerned" about the Golden Dome, which it said has "strong offensive implications".
