US President Donald Trump announced his long-discussed mega project during a statement made in the Oval Office.
GOLDEN DOME WILL BE BUILT
Trump stated, "I am pleased to officially announce the Golden Dome. It will be a state-of-the-art system that deploys next-generation technologies, including space-based sensors and interceptors, on land, at sea, and in space."
APPROXIMATELY $175 BILLION COST
Trump noted that the system would be implemented before the end of his term, thus expecting the system to be operational within about 3 years, and stated that the total cost of constructing the system would be approximately $175 billion. The US President mentioned that they would allocate an initial budget of $25 billion for this fiscal year for the construction of the system and would make planned expenditures in subsequent fiscal years.
"CANADA WANTS TO BE A PART OF IT TOO"
Trump said, "Canada also called us and they want to be a part of this, so we will talk to them. They also want to be protected."
"IT WILL INTERCEPT MISSILES LAUNCHED EVEN FROM SPACE"
Trump stated, "When the Golden Dome is fully constructed, it will have the capacity to intercept missiles launched from anywhere in the world, even from space. We will have the best system ever built." He also recalled that they had previously helped Israel build its "Iron Dome" system.
"ALL WILL BE DESTROYED IN THE AIR"
Trump explained that the US has many missile defense systems, but it always needs such a "complete defense system," stating that some previous presidents also wanted to create such a defense architecture, but that it has now become possible technologically. Trump said, "Today, we have a technology that is much more advanced than that. All will be destroyed in the air, including hypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles, and advanced cruise missiles."
