Trump's Golden Dome: A $175 Billion Missile Shield or Political Gamble?

President Trump Unveils 'Golden Dome' Missile Defense System: A $175 Billion Gamble for US Security. The White House announced the ambitious 'Golden Dome' project, a next-generation missile defense system with an estimated cost of $175 billion (5.73 trillion baht). President Trump stated, "This is a very dangerous world. We're going to protect our citizens like never before." The system, inspired by Israel's Iron Dome, aims for nearly 100% interception of various missile types, including hypersonic weapons. General Michael Gazlan, the project head, will oversee its implementation. While the initial budget is included in Trump's latest proposal, Congressional approval is still pending. Concerns remain regarding the project's massive cost and the potential for even higher expenses in the future.
