President Donald Trump has laid out new details of his ambitious plan to build a “Golden Dome” missile system to protect the United States from foreign attacks, saying it will be complete before he leaves office.

Donald Trump unveiled his new line of defence for the US – a $175 billion ‘Golden Dome’. Despite looking like something out of a Simpsons episode, Trump said the Golden Dome will have ground and space-based capabilities that are able to detect and stop missiles at all four major stages of a potential attack.

Secretary Pete Hegseth denied China's assertion that Golden Dome was an effort to turn space into a 'warzone,' arguing it was only for defense of the homeland.
