President Donald Trump announced the ambitious "Golden Dome" missile defense system, projected to cost $175 billion and be operational by the end of his term. This system, incorporating advanced technologies like space-based sensors, is inspired by Israel's Iron Dome. However, experts express skepticism regarding the feasibility and costs, estimating that even the space components alone could exceed $500 billion. With an initial funding request of $25 billion as part of a tax bill in Congress, Trump's commitment to enhancing U.S. defense capabilities is clear amidst ongoing discussions on practical implementation challenges.
