00:00U.S. President Donald Trump says he has chosen a design for his plan to build a missile shield system.
00:06He says the Golden Dome should be operational in about three years.
00:11Once fully constructed, the Golden Dome will be capable of intercepting missiles,
00:16even if they are launched from other sides of the world and even if they are launched from space.
00:23Trump says the Dome will be important for the success and survival of the United States.
00:28The Pentagon has warned for years that Chinese and Russian missiles are so advanced that the U.S. must develop new countermeasures.
00:36Trump said his plan would cost $175 billion, but there is no money for it yet and it could face scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers.
00:44Trump has asked Congress for an initial $25 billion.
