Trump's 'Golden Dome' will cost $1.2tn and might not stop all-out missile attack

Donald Trump's proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system is expected to cost approximately $1.2 trillion. This estimate is nearly seven times higher than Trump's initial projection. An independent budget office found the significant discrepancy in the projected cost. The system's effectiveness in stopping an all-out missile attack is also uncertain, despite its high price tag.
