He stated that the U.S. has \u2064developed advanced technology capable of creating effective defense mechanisms against ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles.<\/p>\n<p>The White\u2062 House fact sheet \u2063mentions that the order \u200cwill expedite\u2062 the development\u2062 of various defense technologies and includes plans for a detailed budget proposal set to be included in the 2026 federal budget. Trump referenced past efforts, especially those by President Ronald Reagan, to create a strategic\u200c defense system, reiterating that\u200d the threat of missile attacks\u2062 has \u200bintensified in recent decades due to advancements by\u2063 adversaries.<\/p>\n<p>Experts like \u2062Victoria \u200dCoates\u2062 from the Heritage Foundation \u200cendorsed Trump&#8217;s initiative, suggesting it\u2064 aligns with Reagan&#8217;s vision of preventing attacks rather \u200cthan retaliating. The goal\u200b is to establish a robust defense network that ensures the safety of \u200cthe\u200b American population,echoing Israel\u2019s successful missile defense\u2062 strategies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In a new executive order named the &ldquo;Iron Dome for America,&rdquo; President Donald Trump is calling for an upgraded defense against missile attacks against America.<\/p>\n<p>Trump previewed the order in comments on Monday to House Republicans, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-says-iron-dome-construction-immediate-signs-executive-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said Defense Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pete-hegseth-spurns-biden-admins-woke-military-base-names-enters-pentagon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pete Hegseth<\/a> was &ldquo;what we need, to immediately begin the construction of a state-of-the-art Iron Dome missile defense shield, which will be able to protect Americans.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In his comments, Trump said the United States will &ldquo;protect other countries, but we don&rsquo;t protect ourselves.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump noted that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/remembering-man-helped-ronald-reagan-take-soviet-union\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">President Ronald Reagan<\/a>, who advocated a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">space-based missile defense<\/a>, sought such a system, but the nation &ldquo;didn&rsquo;t have the technology.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And now we have phenomenal technology.

the order said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Over the past 40 years, rather than lessening, the threat from next-generation strategic weapons has become more intense and complex with the development by peer and near-peer adversaries of next-generation delivery systems and their own homeland integrated air and missile defense capabilities,&rdquo;
