President Trump is set to sign an executive order today to initiate the development of a next-generation missile defense system for the United States, according to CNN. The order will call for the creation of an "American Iron Dome," modeled after Israel's missile defense system, to protect the nation against ballistic missiles and other long-range threats. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth indicated that this initiative is part of a broader effort to bolster national security. Major defense contractors such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman may play roles in the development of the system. The executive order aims to modernize the U.S. missile defense infrastructure.
