Imagine a missile defence system so advanced it can shoot threats out of the sky—from land, sea, or even space.
Sounds like science fiction? Not if you ask Donald Trump.
Back in the Oval Office, the president has unveiled plans for the “Golden Dome.”
A massive, next-gen shield to guard America from tomorrow’s most terrifying weapons.
“This system will stop anything, even missiles launched from the other side of the world—or from space,” Trump declared.
Modeled loosely on Israel’s Iron Dome but scaled up dramatically.
The Golden Dome promises protection from hypersonics, ballistic missiles, and even orbit-launched weapons like FOBS.
It’s an ambitious vision—one that’s already sparked global buzz and serious budget questions.
What’s Pentagon’s Starting Budget?
A cool $25 billion. But the Congressional Budget Office warns it could balloon to over half a trillion dollars.
And experts like Chatham House’s Marion Messmer caution that “defending the U.S. is a far bigger challenge than defending Israel.”
It is geographically and technically.
Still, interest is growing. Even Canada wants in.
