Donald Trump announced Tuesday at the White House that he has chosen a design for the $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense system, Reuters reported, and appointed Michael Gatelaine, Deputy Secretary of Space Operations, to oversee the program. Donald Trump also said the project would be completed by 2029 January, the end of his term. But the feasibility, cost and whether the Golden Dome will spark a new arms race have been widely questioned.<\/p>\n
I promised the American people that I would build the most advanced missile defense shield to protect our homeland from foreign missile threats. Donald Trump, accompanied by United States Secretary of Defense Hergeseths, said in the Oval Office that he had formally chosen the structure of the Golden Vault, designed to shoot down\u201cHypersonic missiles, ballistic missiles and advanced cruise missiles.\u201d. According to the Qa?ar Al Jazeera, Donald Trump said the golden dome system would contain \u201cSpace-based sensors and interceptors\u201d, once fully built, the dome will be able to intercept missiles even if they are launched from the other side of the world, or even from space. \u201cWe’re going to have the most powerful system ever,\u201d Donald Trump said. In announcing the plan, Donald Trump reportedly made special mention of the space missile defense system, or \u201cStrategic Defense Initiative\u201d, proposed by former President Reagan. \u201cRonald Reagan envisioned this many years ago, but the technology wasn’t ready,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to the Al Jazeera on the 21st, this is the clearest plan yet drawn up by Donald Trump and Hegasse for the program, which also includes the first time sending a weapon into space. The report said Donald Trump’s comments came less than four months after he signed an executive order launching the development of the programme, which Hegasse hailed as a \u201cGame-changer\u201d, it is also\u201cA generational investment in the security of the United States and its people\u201d.<\/p>\n
As well as announcing the specifics of the Golden Vault, Donald Trump also set a timeline for its implementation. \u201cIt should be fully operational by the end of my term, so we should be able to do it in about three years,\u201d Donald Trump said Wednesday at a final cost of about $175 billion, Reuters reported. Donald Trump asked Congress for $25bn in his latest tax bill to help put the golden dome on the ground. The White House did not release further details of the missile defence system immediately after Donald Trump’s announcement. The Pentagon is still reportedly studying its capabilities and needs. Indeed, Donald Trump’s cost figure is well below CBO estimates. Last month, a congressional analysis group estimated that the cost of the space-based components alone would exceed $500 billion over the next 20 years, Yahoo said.<\/p>\n
Yahoo said Donald Trump formally proposed his \u201cGolden Dome\u201d plan in an executive order dated January 27. But since then, critics have questioned whether the costly project will cut funding for existing US defence programmes. The report said that at the White House press conference on the 20th, some reporters raised doubts about this, \u201cDid the military commanders specifically ask for this system to be deployed? Because (North American Aerospace Defense Command) it has been said before that the existing system is sufficient, so what good will it do the US? It was… .. \u201d Donald Trump cut to the chase, \u201cPeople say existing systems are enough? There are no existing systems at all,\u201d he says. We have some missile and missile defense equipment, but we don’t have a system. We just have some good weapons.<\/p>\n
In addition to questioning the necessity of the Golden Dome project, concerns have been raised about companies that may be involved in the project. The Al Jazeera said Democrats had raised questions about the possible involvement of SpaceX, the arm of the us-based entrepreneur and the frontrunner among technology companies bidding to build key components of the system. A coalition of 42 Democrats called for an investigation into Musk’s role in the bidding process. \u201cShould Mr. Elon Musk exert undue influence over the Golden Dome contract, this would again demonstrate a disturbing flagrant violation of conflict-of-interest rules,\u201d the Democrats wrote in a letter calling for an investigation. Donald Trump did not respond directly to a question from Tuesday about which companies would be involved in the Golden Dome project. Instead, he stressed that the system would boost industries in Alaska, Indiana, Florida and other states. Donald Trump also said Canada wanted to be involved. \u201cWe will consult with them.\u201d. The office of Kearney, the Canadian prime minister, declined to comment.<\/p>\n
The plan is widely seen as a \u201cCornerstone\u201d of Donald Trump’s military plans to head off so-called \u201cChinese and Russian threats,\u201d Reuters said Tuesday. The missile defense system will include high-end technology in three areas, land, sea and air, according to a question about Donald Trump’s announced \u201cGolden Dome\u201d plan at a press conference held by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Sunday, how Do you comment? In response, Mao Ning said the so-called \u201cGolden Dome\u201d programme was aimed at building a global, multi-layered, multi-area missile defence system with no constraints. The plan openly calls for a substantial increase in the means of warfare in outer space, including the development and deployment of orbital interception systems, which is highly offensive and violates the principle of peaceful uses advocated by the outer space treaty, it will increase the risk of space becoming a battlefield and an arms race, and destabilize the International Security and arms control system. The United States pursues\u201cNational Priority\u201d and is obsessed with seeking its own absolute security, violating the principle of\u201cUndiminished security for all\u201d and undermining global strategic balance and stability. China is seriously concerned about this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
