A Kremlin propagandist has said that Russia should try to force Donald Trump into making decisions that benefit Moscow because the U.S. is an adversary. Igor Korotchenko told the program 60 Minutes that any move by Moscow to build a relationship with the new U.S. administration should keep in mind that Washington's goal is Russia's destruction.

Authorities in Moscow on Friday criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to build an "iron dome" missile defense system in the United States, saying it risked turning space into an arena of "confrontation.

The initiative announced by Donald Trump on "Iron Dome for America" is more than just a plan to build another anti-ballistic system. It harkens back to the "Star Wars" concept, with which President Ronald Reagan challenged the Soviet Union in the 1980s.

A top Russian official warned an advanced U.S. missile defense shield move could lead to military "confrontation" in space.
