Story by Kathryn Watson • 12h
Washington — President Trump on Tuesday announced his administration has selected the architectural design for a "Golden Dome" missile defense system to protect the United States from foreign threats.
The president also said the budget package Republicans are currently ironing out on Capitol Hill will include an initial $25 billion to begin construction on the missile defense system. Mr. Trump said the project's total cost will be about $175 billion, although it could be much more. Congress hasn't yet funded any of the project, although Mr. Trump told reporters he thinks it'll be easy to fund on Capitol Hill.
"Today, I'm pleased to announce that we have officially selected an architecture for this state-of-the-art system that will deploy next-generation technologies across the land, sea and space, including space-based sensors and interceptors," the president announced in the Oval Office alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
