President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Monday to initiate the development of a “next generation” missile defense shield for the United States. The order, as per a fact sheet obtained, aims to establish an advanced defense system similar to Israel's Iron Dome.
The order specifically targets protection against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles, and other potential aerial threats that pose a significant risk to national security. The fact sheet describes these threats as potentially catastrophic.
