Trump can’t believe it. He can’t afford to let his guard down at all now.
Because these top U.S. enemies launched an all-out assault on Donald Trump for one insane reason.
Trump’s “Golden Dome” Space Defense Plan Sparks Global Firestorm
President Donald Trump’s $175 billion “Golden Dome” initiative, a bold space-based missile defense system, has ignited fierce criticism from nuclear-armed powers Russia, China, and North Korea. These nations have branded the plan, which leverages cutting-edge satellite technology to detect and neutralize missile threats from any corner of the globe, as “dangerous” and a destabilizing force in international relations.
Unveiled recently, the “Golden Dome” aims to create an impenetrable shield capable of intercepting missiles “even if they are launched from other sides of the world,” Trump declared.
Drawing inspiration from Israel’s “Iron Dome,” the system is designed to safeguard the U.S. homeland, though experts estimate it will take years to become fully operational, despite Trump’s ambitious three-year timeline. The announcement has provoked intense backlash from America’s rivals, who have accused the administration of arrogance and reckless overreach.
North Korea, despite its leader’s unusually cordial ties with Trump during his first term, issued a blistering condemnation through its foreign ministry. On Tuesday, state media reported the ministry’s claim that the plan is an “outer space nuclear war scenario” driven by a quest for “uni-polar domination.”
The statement further described it as a “typical product of ‘America first’, the height of self-righteousness, arrogance, high-handed and arbitrary practice,” accusing the U.S. of seeking to “militarize outer space” to “preemptively attain military superiority in an all-round way.”
Russia and China Unite in Opposition
Russia and China have voiced similar objections. Russian Foreign Minister Maria Zakharova, cited by Reuters, warned that the “Golden Dome” threatens global security by establishing a worldwide missile defense network.
Earlier this month, following a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping, the two nations issued a joint statement denouncing the plan as “deeply destabilizing.” They argued it disrupts the “inseparable interrelationship between strategic offensive arms and strategic defensive arms” and risks turning “outer space into an environment for placing weapons and an arena for armed confrontation.”
China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning reinforced Beijing’s stance, stating last week that the project “will heighten the risk of turning space into a war zone and creating a space arms race, and shake the international security and arms control system.” Russia’s response has been notably subdued since Trump’s recent Oval Office remarks, which followed a two-hour phone call with Putin.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth firmly rejected claims that the “Golden Dome” is an offensive strategy, telling Fox News Digital, “All we care about is protecting the homeland.”
Trump’s Overall Security Agenda
Trump remains unwavering in his commitment to fortifying America’s defenses against both foreign and domestic threats. His administration views the “Golden Dome” as a cornerstone of a multifaceted strategy to ensure national security in an increasingly volatile world.
President Trump has stated before that one of his main duties as commander-in-chief is to protect United States’ citizens from any sort of threat.
Trump’s focus extends beyond space-based defenses, with ongoing efforts to strengthen border security and bolster domestic law enforcement to counter emerging threats.
Critics argue that this aggressive posture risks escalating global tensions, but Trump insists that a strong, proactive defense is essential to maintaining America’s safety and sovereignty in an era of complex geopolitical and domestic risks.
