The Deputy Commander of the United States Space Force refrained from providing details related to costs and scope for security reasons. Gitlin spent two months working on the new missile defense system, the ‘Golden Dome,’ which President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a week after starting his second term.
On May 20th, President Donald Trump announced the launch of the ‘Golden Dome’ missile defense project with a cost of 175 billion dollars. A Western newspaper reported that Trump had promised during his election campaign to build a shield to protect the skies of the United States from ballistic missiles, so it could ‘handle any missile attack even if it came from space,’ as he stated.
He said, ‘The dome will protect us with nearly 100% efficiency from all missiles, including hypersonic ones.’
