Trump’s Golden Dome Will Cost $1.2 Trillion to US

Donald Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense system dream will cost about $1.2 ​trillion to develop and operate over two decades, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates and says even further expenditure is expected to complete it.

That figure is rather higher than the initial sum of $175bn (£129bn) that had been earmarked, the developers say with more time it can reach even higher pricing.

International Observers says the system they want to design to shield the US against ballistic and cruise missiles might not even work. The new CBO report warned the Golden Dome could be vulnerable to a full-scale attack by Russia or China.

Iran formerly has proved Israel’s Iron Dome as Vulnerable to these attacks.
