Russia, China, North Korea condemn Trump's $175 billion Golden Dome missile shield

  • President Donald Trump announced the 'Golden Dome,' a space-based missile defense system, which he said could be operational by 2029 in the United States.
  • The project stems from increased missile threats, including North Korea’s nuclear-capable tests, and an accelerating race to develop hypersonic missiles globally.
  • The Golden Dome aims to employ satellites and space-based interceptors to identify and intercept missiles throughout every phase of an attack, with Canada expressing interest in joining the project.
  • Cost estimates vary, with Trump citing $175 billion while the Congressional Budget Office projects potentially up to $542 billion over 20 years; Trump claimed, "There's never been anything like this."
  • North Korea criticized the U.S. missile defense system as a provocative measure that could militarize space and transform it into a possible arena for nuclear conflict, raising concerns about stability in the region.
