President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States needs a missile defense system akin to Israel’s Iron Dome.
“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.
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.”

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

“That’ll easily pay for the Golden Dome, and we will have a lot of money left over,” Trump said.
