The White House is opposing the Republican Party’s proposal to build a missile defense base on the East Coast of the U.S. to prepare against threats from Iran and North Korea.

The White House called the construction of an East Coast missile defense base premature.

The Office of Management and Budget at the White House said that it saw no point in building the base.

Previously, the Republican Party submitted a revision of the National Defense Authorization Act to the House Armed Services Committee, proposing the missile defense base.

The head of the committee’s subcommittee on strategic forces, Republican representative Michael Turner, said that building the East Coast base is inevitable in order to address threats from Iran and North Korea.
