Senator Markey: Trump's Golden Dome' is Fool's Gold
Briefly

President Trump's latest initiative, termed 'Golden Dome for America,' is likened to Reagan's Star Wars program and poses substantial financial and strategic risks. Critics argue it symbolizes a misguided investment, potentially wasting trillions, while proving ineffective against real threats such as adversary missile capabilities. The Congressional Budget Office projects costs could reach $542 billion, prompting fears of igniting a new nuclear arms race with nations like Russia and China. This system seems more advantageous to defense contractors than to American security or global stability.
President Trump's 'Golden Dome for America' is a costly military project that will not enhance national security, but rather incite a new arms race.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that a basic missile defense system could be as much as $542 billion over the next 20 years.
