Vice President Pence makes an important pit stop Vice President Mike Pence arrived in Japan yesterday to begin meeting with foreign leaders and building on the momentum of President Donald J. Trump’s historic visit to Asia last year.

But before the Vice President flew to Japan, he made a special stop in Alaska at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on Monday evening. Gov. Bill Walker (I-AK) was at the Vice President’s side.

“As I prepare to travel to Japan and South Korea, I thought it was altogether fitting to begin here at Elmendorf, the first line of defense for the American people,” the Vice President said. “Missile defense begins here in Alaska. And the American people and the world should know that our nation is secure.
“Our nation's defenses from potential inbound missile attacks is the best in the world.”

“We’re doing much better than any administration by far,” the President said. “Still, we have a long way to go. We can only be as good as the law.” He pressed lawmakers on the urgency of addressing border security problems as part of comprehensive immigration reform in the coming weeks.
“So, we have one good shot at it, and it's now."
