Trump's "Golden Dome": A $175 Billion Gamble on Missile Defense?
President Trump's ambitious "Golden Dome" missile defense system proposal has sparked debate among experts. The plan, modeled after Israel's Iron Dome, faces significant hurdles due to its estimated $175 billion cost and the sheer size of the United States. MSNBC's Katy Tur reports on the challenges, showcasing footage of the Iron Dome's effectiveness in Israel. "Experts don't think it will be quite the same," Tur explains, highlighting the logistical difficulties of replicating the system across the US. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has publicly supported the initiative, stating that plans are underway. The debate now centers on whether the immense cost and potential limitations outweigh the benefits of such a vast undertaking.
