Trump's plan deploys weapons in space

Donald Trump's Golden Dome plan, a $175 billion initiative, proposes deploying weapons in space, raising concerns of a new arms race. This could significantly escalate the militarization of space. The plan, reviving Cold War-era concepts, involves a network of satellites and space-based missiles to intercept threats. Critics fear it will provoke other nations to develop similar systems, escalating tensions. While defense firms support the project, funding faces uncertainty in Congress. The plan mirrors Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, and could reshape global space relations.
