President Donald Trump will sign an executive order today to create an ‘Iron Dome’ style defense system in the United States, DailyMail.com has learned.
It would be an American version of the famed Israeli missile defense system.
Incoming Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hinted the order was coming when he walked into the Pentagon on Monday, his first day on the new job.
‘Today, there are more executive orders coming that we fully support, on removing DEI inside the Pentagon, reinstating troops who were pushed out because of COVID mandates, Iron Dome for America,’ he told reporters. ‘This is happening quickly.’
Trump had vowed to build such a system upon his return to the White House.
‘We will replenish our military and build an Iron Dome missile defense system to ensure that no enemy can strike our homeland,’ he said this summer at the Republican National Convention.
‘Israel has an Iron Dome. They have a missile defense system,’ he noted. ‘Why should other countries have this, and we don’t?’
