- Abstract
- The article delivers analysis of main issues connected with U.S. missile defense funding. Decisions on these issues will directly influence the ranking of priorities in missile defense funding and planning of regional missile defense architectures by the U.S. and its allies. The author analyses a course of the discussions in the U.S. and delivers conclusions about prospects of these discussions. During the final years of Barack Obama presidency there were several factors which would somehow affect missile defense policy of D. Trump administration. Greenert-Odierno Memorandum highlighted features of crisis in U.S. missile defense policy. Further development of Russian topic in missile defense debates in the U.S. coincides in time with amending National Missile Defense Act of 1999 towards expansion of legally fixed policy of U.S. missile defense building. Policy of saving in the interest of reducing federal budget deficit can affect U.S. missile defense planning. Cooperation between the U.S. and its allies also can influence the prioritizing in funding of certain U.S. missile defense programs.
