- President Donald Trump aims to enhance US defense against missile attacks by creating a similar system to Israel's Iron Dome, raising questions about feasibility and cost.

Trump's Ambitious Defense Plans

President Trump, in office for just over a week, has already signed numerous executive orders, including granting clemency to around fifteen hundred individuals involved in storming the Capitol in January 2021. The US has also withdrawn from the WHO and the climate agreement. Trump's defense agenda includes the development of an American missile defense system comparable to Israel's Iron Dome.

Trump, 78, expressed his desire for a US missile defense system akin to Israel's Iron Dome and is set to sign a presidential decree on this matter soon. He emphasized the need to build an advanced Iron Dome missile defense shield to protect Americans, highlighting US technological capabilities.

Trump's admiration for the Israeli missile defense system is not new. During a speech in New Hampshire in October 2023, he stated, 'Americans deserve an Iron Dome, and that is what we will provide.' The US played a significant role in the Iron Dome's development, which has effectively defended Israel against rocket attacks since 2011.

Past US leaders, such as President Ronald Reagan with the 'Star Wars' program in 1983, also pursued missile defense initiatives. However, Trump faces skepticism regarding the necessity of an American Iron Dome system. Military expert Patrick Bolder notes that the threats the US faces differ from those of Israel, which primarily deals with close-range missile threats.

Despite the challenges, Trump remains convinced of the feasibility of enhancing US airspace defense. Bolder suggests that Trump's focus on the Iron Dome may stem from a misunderstanding of its capabilities, as various defense systems serve different purposes in air defense strategies.

The financial implications of implementing an American Iron Dome are significant due to the vast size of the US compared to Israel. Bolder cautions against the exorbitant costs of such a project, questioning the justification of such expenditure.
