A Defense Intelligence Agency assessment ordered by President Trump as part of his “Golden Dome” initiative revealed that China is a developing a troubling new missile capability that can used to strike U.S. targets, evading existing early detection and other missile defenses.

Trump is pushing for the construction of an advanced, new homeland missile defense framework. During his joint session speech to Congress this year, Trump said of the Golden Dome project: “It’s very important. This is a very dangerous world. We should have it. We want to be protected.”
