<p>President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States needs a missile defense system akin to Israel’s Iron Dome.</p>
<p>“We need the Golden Dome by the way in this world, though this world is a lot safer today than it was a week ago and a lot safer than it was six months ago,” Trump said from the Oval Office.</p>
<p>Trump spoke beside graphics of the proposed Golden Dome, including a quote from the president stating, “This is a Very Dangerous World. We’re going to protect our citizens like never before.”</p>

<p>Trump joked that the reduction of costs in Medicaid, Medicare, and pharmaceuticals could pay for the Golden Dome.</p>

<p>“That’ll easily pay for the Golden Dome, and we will have a lot of money left over,” Trump said.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-signs-executive-order-initiating-the-construction-of-americas-iron-dome" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump signed</a> an executive order in January initiating the construction of the missile defense system that would “provide for the common defense of its citizens and the Nation by deploying and maintaining a next-generation missile defense shield.”</p>
<p>“Over the past 40 years, rather than lessening, the threat from next-generation strategic weapons has become more intense and complex with the development by peer and near-peer adversaries of next-generation delivery systems and their own homeland integrated air and missile defense capabilities,” Trump said.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-to-world-stop-buying-iranian-oil-or-else?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+To+World%3A+Stop+Buying+Iranian+Oil+%E2%80%94+Or+Else" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TRUMP TO WORLD: STOP BUYING IRANIAN OIL — OR ELSE</a></strong></p>
<p>The order added that President Ronald Reagan endeavored to build such a system to defend against nuclear attacks, but that his program was cancelled before it reached its goal.</p>
<p>While the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-were-gonna-have-an-iron-dome-like-israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iron Dome</a> is highly effective in protecting Israel — a country roughly the size of New Jersey — a  “Golden Dome” would face far greater logistical challenges due to the vast size of the United States.</p>

<p>A Space Force general said that such a project is of the magnitude of the Manhattan Project, the secretive World War II program that led to the first atomic bomb and the development of nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is on the order of magnitude of the Manhattan Project, and it’s going to take concerted effort from the very top of our government. It&#8217;s going to take a national will to bring all this together,&#8221; Gen. Michael Guetlein, vice chief of space operations of the U.S. Space Force, said, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trumps-golden-dome-need-manhattan-project-scale-whole-of-government-effort-space-force-general-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News reported</a>.</p>
<p>Israel expects to roll out its &#8220;Iron Beam&#8221; laser air defense system by the end of 2025, which will drastically reduce the costs of intercepting missiles, reported <a href="https://www.jns.org/israels-iron-beam-laser-defense-system-to-launch-by-years-end/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jewish News Syndicate</a></p>
