What to know about Trump’s “Golden Dome”
China said Wednesday that the Trump administration plan to build a call “Golden Dome” The antimile defense system to protect the United States from missile attacks carries “strong offensive implications” and will increase the risks of a global arms race and militarization of outer space. President Trump said Tuesday that his administration had officially selected an architecture for this avant -garde system “, and that a budget package that Congress is currently deliberate would currently provide an initial financing of $ 25 billion for the project.
An unasperial evaluation of the United States Defense Intelligence Agency shows that the Army expects them to stay with missile threats that are greater on “scale and sophistication in the next decade”, specifically pointing out that “China and Russia are developing a series of new delivery systems to exploit the gaps in the current ballistic missile defenses of the United States.”
“North Korea is successfully proven ballistic missiles With a sufficient range to reach the entire homeland, and Iran has space launch vehicles that it could use to develop a military viable ICBM by 2035, if Tehran decides to follow the capacity, “said the evaluation of the day, warning that there is no longer part of the homeland that cannot be beaten by the existing ICBM.”

But China, who has been deepening his ties with Russia While quickly Develop their missiles and other military capabilitiesincluding their nuclear weapons, he accused the Trump administration of obsessing with the American defense with the risk of endangering global security.
“The United States, seeking a policy of ‘first first place’, is obsessed with the search for absolute security for itself. This violates the principle that the security of all countries should not be compromised and undermines the global strategic balance and stability. China is seriously concerned about this,” said the cover of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Wednesday during a regular report in Beijing, according to multiple international news agencies.
The White House Plan “increases the risk of space becoming a battlefield, feeds an arms race and undermines international security,” he said. “We urge the United States to abandon the development and deployment of an antimile defense system as soon as possible.”
The US army has said for years that China and Russia are already deploying weapons in space, with Reports that suggest Everything, from laser weapons to Chinese satellites with the ability to disable or even capture US satellites. Last year, the United States warned Russia that a Antisatellite weapon with nuclear capacity that analysts believe they could lodge in space for long periods of time before issuing an explosion that would disable all the satellites around them.
Meanwhile, in the capital of Russia, Kremlin said Wednesday that Trump’s plans would require consultations between Moscow and Washington, but a spokesman said it was largely a “sovereign matter” for the United States.
It was a softer position than the regime of President Vladimir Putin, who had recently published a statement by saying that the new American missile defense system would explicitly give Moscow a impetus a momentum “for a significant strengthening of the arsenal to perform combat operations in space.”
Trump told White House journalists on Tuesday, while making his ad, that he had not yet talked to Putin about his plans, but said that “at the right time.”
China and Russia, in a joint statement issued at the beginning of the month, called the Golden Dome project, “deeply destabilizing nature”, and the two US adversaries said it would turn the space into “a sand for the armed confrontation.”
