U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled an ambitious vision: an American version of Israel’s Iron Dome, which he has dubbed the “Golden Dome.” Promising that “no enemy will touch us,” Trump says the system would protect the United States from missile threats — and has even floated Greenland as a potential strategic location.
