On May 20, 2025, former President Donald Trump formally unveils a bold new national defense initiative called the “Golden Dome,” a next-generation missile shield designed to protect the United States from an array of advanced threats, including hypersonic missiles and weapons launched from space. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump is joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to announce the plan, marking a significant pivot in the country’s defense strategy toward space-based and multi-platform technologies.
