«Ronald Reagan wanted to do this many years ago, but they didn't have the technology. This is very important for the success and even survival of our country. The world around us is very evil», Donald Trump said.

According to the newspaper, the «Golden Dome» system is to create a network of satellites to detect, track and potentially intercept incoming missiles. The shield can deploy hundreds of such satellites.

The system is expected to take 2.5-3 years to build. The initial investment in this project will be $20 billion.

Earlier, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied rumours that the United States was going to withdraw from NATO and called media reports about the possible withdrawal of U.S. forces from Europe «hysteria».
