Israel
"The Golden Dome proposal builds on Trumps longtime praise for Israels system, which detects and intercepts incoming missiles while they are in the air."
South Korea
"But Trump isnt the only national leader talking about borrowing the concept. South Korea, which faces a nuclear threat from the adjoining North Korea, is building its own version."
United States
"One line of the proposal makes a down-payment on the development and deployment of a Golden Dome for America, a next-generation missile defense shield that would protect the U.S. from missile threats coming from any adversary, the document reads."
