Hoeven Advances Nuclear Modernization & Sky Range Program with Defense Sec & Joint Chiefs Chairman

North Dakota is not only home to two legs of the nuclear triad in Minot, but also supports the Sky Range hypersonic testing program we secured in Grand Forks. I appreciate Defense Secretary Austin and Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley’s continued support for these critical missions, including our efforts to keep the nuclear modernization programs on track and maintain a strong deterrent for years to come. Further, our discussion was an important opportunity to review U.S. support for Ukraine and ensure the aid that Congress provided is being effectively and quickly distributed in order to push back on Russia’s aggression.
