According to the publication, Senator from the Republican Party Bob Corker convened on Tuesday a hearing on the process of launching a nuclear strike. As a result, this process was first approved in 1946, when Harry Truman became president - after the atomic bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It should be noted that the president can consult with military and civilian advisers in case of launching nuclear weapons.

Generals from the circle of US President Donald Trump - the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, the head of the White House, John Kelly, or the national security adviser to US President Herbert Raymond McMaster have no authority to cancel the president's order, the newspaper notes..

In addition, it is noted that, according to recent estimates, the missile launched by North Korea's leader Kim Jong-no can reach the United States within 30-40 minutes.

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform," the government of the DPRK began to develop an improved model of the intercontinental ballistic missile "Hwaseon-14". It is known that such a missile will be able to reach the territory of the United States.
