Trump’s Golden Dome Missile Shield Gets $27 Billion Boost in GOP Plan Tied to Sweeping Tax Cuts That Could Add to Federal Debt

Republicans in Congress plan to unveil a $150 billion defense package that includes $27 billion for Trump’s Golden Dome missile shield, according to CNBC. The measure adds $150 billion to the 2025 national security budget, funding 14 new warships and increased homeland security spending. It will be included in Trump’s sweeping tax cuts bill, which aims to reduce taxes while significantly increasing federal debt over the next decade. Elon Musk’s SpaceX and two partners are leading contenders to secure a key role in tracking incoming missiles for the Golden Dome program, according to Reuters.
