united states - President Trump reveals the US plan for a defense system similar to Israel's 'Iron Dome' to counter threats from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
President Trump Announces 'Golden Dome' Defense System
President Trump unveiled a plan for a defense system named 'Golden Dome' similar to Israel's 'Iron Dome' during a joint session of Congress.
Referring to the Strategic Defense Initiative proposed in 1983 by President Reagan, Trump emphasized the need for advanced technology to protect the country from missile attacks.
Concerns over threats from China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea have led to the renaming of the program from 'America's Iron Dome' to 'Golden Dome'. Analysts suggest reviving missile defense plans akin to the 'Star Wars' initiative of the 1980s to counter modern threats.
Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and SpaceX are expected to play crucial roles in the development of the 'Golden Dome' defense system, aiming to enhance homeland security and deter enemy attacks.
