Trump starts expensive missile defense: Golden Dome should protect all!

President Donald Trump has ambitious plans for building a new rocket defense under the name "Golden Dome", which is to be realized in the USA until the end of his term. This offensive aims to improve national security through the protection against short -range missiles, modern hyper -sound missiles and long -range missiles. The rocket defense is not only designed for defense from the air, but also from space. These new defense measures are said to be modeled on Israeli Iron Dome, although the geographical and security conditions in the United States required a differentiated approach. A nationwide defense system is assessed as inefficient and expensive due to the size of the USA.

Trump has planned $ 25 billion (22 billion euros) as a shot. The total cost of the "Golden Dome" project is estimated at around $ 175 billion. Canada has already signaled interest in participation. In January, Trump signed an order to initiate the project, and the Ministry of Defense was commissioned to develop a implementation plan within 60 days. In the past, the United States has contributed significantly to the development and maintenance of the Iron Dome in Israel and are now striving to establish a similar system on home soil.

Details on the "Golden Dome"

The new defense system is intended to make a decisive contribution to increasing the security of the United States, with Mexico and Canada not being a military threat. Despite this internal perception of threat, the efficient coordination and implementation of the rocket defense system will be of great importance. Trump emphasizes that the "Golden Dome" should modernize the country's defense architecture and at the same time complement existing systems.

The discussion about military spending is increasingly gaining explosive, especially in the context of global developments. According to a publication of Statista on military expenditure worldwide, based on data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the United States is among the countries with the highest military spending. These expenses not only reflect support for national programs, but also international obligations.
