Gold dome will be completed until the end of the term, says Trump

United States President Donald Trump said he believed his Golden Dome antimissile defense project, a golden dome in free translation, will be concluded until the end of his term – an estimate that contradicts what military authorities had already said to CNN .

“It must be operational until the end of my mandate. Therefore, we will be ready in three years, once fully built. Golden Dome will be able to intercept missiles even if they are released from other corners of the world,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Hall.

Trump stated that $ 25 billion will be allocated from his spending and tax cut bill, which he is currently pressuring House Republicans to approve, to help finance the defense project, which he said will cost about $ 175 billion in total to be built.

Estimates contradicted some provided by other military authorities.

Retired Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery said before CNN Which believes that the creation of a ballistic antimysis system may be possible in 7 to 10 years, but still will have severe limitations, potentially capable of protecting only critical federal buildings and large cities.

Others said that projecting the total cost of such a system is essentially impossible.

“Golden Dome” is the Trump government’s attempt to reformulate plans for the development of an antimysis system similar to Israel’s Iron Dome.

At a time when the Pentagon seeks to cut budgets, the Trump government ordered military authorities to ensure that the future financing for the Golden Dome be reflected in the new budget estimates for 2026 to 2030 – but the system itself remains undefined, sources said.
