Summary/Abstract: Since 2012, North Korea has been progressing with different types of long-range ballistic missiles and their successful tests of them are a determinant in the U.S. missile defence plans for the continental United States, Hawaii, and overseas territories. One of most important recommended solutions by the Pentagon to these growing threats is the concept of a “layered” approach to homeland missile defence. The Joe Biden administration is expected to comprehensively review the concept and any actions would have a distinct effect on U.S. deterrence of North Korea and bilateral relations with China and Russia. It also will be important also for American allies in Europe.
