Trump says US will beat out Russia and China with 'super duper missile'

Unveiling the flag for his new space force in the Oval Office on Friday, Donald Trump said the US was developing a ''super duper missile'' to outpace military rivals including Russia and China.
''We have no choice, we have to do it with the adversaries we have out there. We have, I call it the super duper missile and I heard the other night [it’s] 17 times faster than what they have right now,'' the president said, sitting at the Resolute Desk.
''That’s right,'' said the defense secretary, Mark Esper, standing to Trump’s right.

''You take the fastest missile we have right now,'' Trump said. ''You heard Russia has five times and China’s working on five or six times, we have one 17 times and it’s just got the go-ahead.''
