"International partners, I have not been allowed to talk to yet because of the trade wars."
"By the summer of '28, we will be able to defend the entire nation against ballistic missiles, as well as other generation aerial threats, and we will continue to grow that architecture through 2035,"
General Michael Guetlein plans rapid deployment of the Golden Dome missile defense shield, a space-based network of sensors and interceptors, with an aggressive three-year schedule. The system targets ICBMs, cruise missiles, hypersonic weapons, and drones, aiming for nationwide ballistic and aerial defense by summer 2028 and continued expansion through 2035. The program leverages existing investments in sensor technology, reusable launchers, and mass-produced satellites and includes Pentagon contracts for interceptor prototypes. Supporters cite threats from Russia and China; critics cite high cost and potential disruption to the global order. Trade wars have constrained international consultations.
