Obama ‘asked UK to COVER UP failed Trident missile test as US technology was to blame'

FORMER President Barack Obama urged David Cameron’s government not to publicise the alleged failed Trident missile test launch because flawed US technology was behind the malfunction, according to reports.

Speaking to The Times, an unnamed British military source claimed: "It was the Obama administration that asked the Cameron administration not to comment on this.

"The US administration may have been worried that there could be similar problems on other missiles.

"The British submarine successfully carried and launched the missile; the bit that went wrong was the US proprietary technology."
