Iron Dome

The U.S. already has plenty of air- and missile-defenses at least as good as Iron Dome—the Patriot, the Standard Missile, and others.

Israel’s Iron Dome program is designed to intercept missiles with a range of 40 miles traveling at twice the speed of sound.

In fact, Trump proposes to build "a great Iron Dome over our country, a dome like has never seen before" to keep us safe from everyone else in the world.

As Trump stumped, he repeatedly proposed an "American Iron Dome" aimed at defending U.S. airspace from missiles and drones and inspired by a similar system in Israel.

And, on defence, Trump said he would build an “iron dome missile defence shield” around America, implying greater spending in this area, not cuts.
