Trump wants a ‘Golden Dome’ capable of defending the entire US: ‘Strategically, it doesn’t make any sense’
- The Trump administration is pursuing a defense system called Golden Dome to protect the U.S. From long-range missile strikes, with no expense spared to fulfill this priority, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
- Golden Dome is an attempt to create a missile defense system similar to Israel's Iron Dome but is currently just a conceptual idea with uncertain future costs, according to an internal source.
- Retired Rear Adm. Mark Montgomery stated that while creating such a system is possible within 7-10 years, its effectiveness would be limited to protecting critical areas and major cities.
- Experts express concerns that Golden Dome could disrupt nuclear deterrence stability and may be economically unfeasible, as stated by Laura Grego and other officials.
