Trump to Immediately Begin Construction of U.S.-Made Iron Dome Missile Defense
Jan 19, 2025, 11:45 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to direct the U.S. military to immediately begin constructing an 'Iron Dome' missile defense shield in the United States. This announcement was made during a rally in Washington, where Trump emphasized that the system would be built domestically. The proposed U.S. version of the Iron Dome, inspired by Israel's successful defense system, aims to protect the country from future missile threats. The development of such a system would involve collaboration with companies like Rafael and Raytheon, which already have a joint venture in the U.S. for producing interceptors.
