President Donald Trump's plan to put weapons in space, called the “Golden Dome for America” missile defense program, is estimated to cost much more than he originally said
It appeared to be the first time the missile defense system was sent to an Arab country. The Emirates bore the brunt of Iran’s retaliatory attacks on Gulf countries during the war.
President Trump's plan for a Golden Dome missile defense system has jumped in its estimated cost from $175 billion to $185 billion, according to Space Force General Michael Guetlein. The president says the Golden Dome would be able to defend against missiles coming from across the world or space. Guetlein also pushed back on President Trump's goal of finishing the dome by the end of his term, with a more likely end goal of 2035. #trump #goldendome #irondome #congress #spaceforce
