The” Golden Dome,” a national missile defense system he pledged during his presidential campaign, has been finalized by his presidency, along with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who also is in the White House.
On Tuesday, Trump revealed that the chosen platform will include advanced technology spanning land, water, and place at a press conference held from the Oval Office, according to a report from Breitbart News.
Trump stated,” Now, I’m pleased to announce that we have actually chosen an infrastructure for this state-of-the-art system that will use next-generation technologies across the land, water, and area, including space-based sensors and interceptors.” He even mentioned that Canada has expressed an interest in taking part in the effort. But we’ll be speaking with them. They also desire defense, he said. But as usual, we support Canada by doing everything we can.
The Golden Dome is anticipated to become fully functional by the end of his current term, according to Trump. The Golden Dome, he said,” When completely constructed, will be able to intercept weapons even if they are launched from different sides of the world, and even if they are launched from room, and we will have the best method always built.” He added that this was a good thing.
The Golden Dome was cited as a defense against a variety of superior challenges, including cruise weapons, nuclear weapons, and hypersonic weapons, by the leader. He also compared President Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, drawing attention to how American missile defence initiatives have always been done.
Trump is asking Congress to pass the” One Big Beautiful Bill,” which would commit$ 25 billion in project funding. The total cost is anticipated to be around$ 175 billion, according to the president.
Hegseth, the defence minister, praised the strategy, calling it” a game change” and describing it as” a millennial expense in the protection of America and Americans.” Some critics expressed doubts about Trump’s vision in starting the Space Force during his first word, which he also attributed to.
” It’s not lost on me, sir, that you had the perception to launch the Space Force when another claimed we didn’t have it.” General Guetlein, one of the room pressure leaders, is in the Oval Office leading the charge to create a game-changing Golden Dome for America, Hegseth said.
