Trump's 'Golden Dome' costs $1.2T

A nonpartisan budget watchdog estimates that President Trump's proposed 'Golden Dome' missile defense system could cost $1.2 trillion over 20 years.

The figure is six times higher than the administration's initial $175 billion price tag.

The Congressional Budget Office report warns that the system, designed to intercept incoming missiles from space, faces significant technical and financial challenges.

Lawmakers have expressed skepticism over the ballooning costs as the administration seeks to secure funding for the ambitious project.
