Former President Donald Trump has a new talking point: he wants Israel’s Iron Dome — its state-of-the-art missile defense shield — for the United States.
“We’re giving billions of dollars to other countries so they can build a dome,” Trump said on the campaign trail this month. “But we don’t have a dome ourselves. We’re going to have the greatest dome ever.”
In Congress, the Republicans who would have to fund such a project say they’re all for beefing up the U.S.’s missile defense systems — but they’re not quite sure what Trump is really asking for.
