In fresh days president Donald Trump has approved 3 fresh decrees to defend the United States from advanced rocket types. 1 of these is the regulation on the creation of a modern rocket shield, called the Iron Dome. This strategy is designed to defend against ballistic, hypersonic and advanced maneuvering missiles, as well as another next generation air strikes.
According to Trump, the fresh rocket defence strategy is to match Ronald Reagan's initiative, known as "Star Wars", which was to trust on the usage of rocket capture lasers in space. The president explained that Reagan's task failed due to insufficiently advanced technology, but added that "now we have phenomenal technology."
The Iron Dome is to be something another than an American-Israeli short-range air defence strategy of the same name. The temporal horizon of building specified a shield and what is to be different from the current layered strategy protecting the American sky is not clear.
In addition to the Iron Dome, Trump besides signed decrees banning military service for transgenders, "extremely left-wing indoctrination" troops, and re-establishing the service of soldiers expelled due to refusal to accept the vaccine on Covid-19. As the fresh Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth announced, these soldiers are to be reinstated to their erstwhile ranks and receive outstanding remuneration.
It is worth noting that the work to vaccinate the coronavirus had already been abolished in 2023, and as the AP agency noted, only 43 of the 8,000 expelled soldiers returned to service at the time. In addition, all programmes promoting inclusiveness and diversity (DEI – Diversity, Equity, inclusion) are to be eliminated, which, according to the White House, constitute discrimination.
According to the Department of Defense, the U.S. Armed Forces have over 1.3 million soldiers in active service, and the another 800,000 in reserve. National protection and defence are key priorities for the United States government, and Trump's fresh decrees are intended to strengthen this sector.
According to a study published by the planet Bank, defence spending in the United States is over 720 billion dollars a year, accounting for about 15% of the full national budget. This means that the United States is 1 of the largest defence publishers in the world.
Trump's fresh decrees are intended to be a major step towards strengthening American national defence, but besides a challenge for future politicians and military. As the defence expert notes, Dr. William LaPlante, the fresh rocket defence strategy is to be the key to safeguarding American national interests and protecting citizens.
Finally, it is worth noting that Trump's fresh decrees are 1 of the many elements of abroad policy and national defence that will affect global relations and planet security. Therefore, all fresh information and updates on these issues will be closely followed by experts and analysts.
