President Trump has announced an ambitious missile defense initiative, the Golden Dome, with plans to get it operational before the end of his term. This system, inspired by Israel's Iron Dome and named for Trump's favorite color, aims to protect the U.S. from various missile threats, utilizing a combination of ground and space-based technology. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the system will intercept threats at multiple stages. Trump's proposal echoes Ronald Reagan’s 1983 Strategic Defense Initiative, which faced significant challenges and was never realized.
We will truly be completing the job that President Reagan started 40 years ago, forever ending the missile threat to the American homeland.
The system will protect the U.S. from cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, drones, whether they're conventional or nuclear.
