U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for a “Golden Dome” to protect the United States from long-range missiles was at least partly inspired by Israel’s multitiered missile defenses.

Last week, President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth unveiled their $175 billion plan for the Golden Dome—a missile defense system for the entire US modeled after Israel’s Iron Dome system. “Israel has it, other places have it, and the United States should have it too,” President Trump told Congress in March.
