The president has no further comment.”

UPDATE 3

Via The Sun:

Former  British foreign  secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind speculates the U.S> might have saboatged the launch via a cyber attack.

Speaking with the BBC, he said: “It could have failed because the system is not competent enough to make it work, but there is a very strong belief that the US through cyber methods has been successful on several occasions in interrupting these sorts of tests and making them fail.

Rifkind  served as foreign secretary from 1995 to 1997 in John Major’s government,
