President Trump Will Build a New Missile Defense Shield

February 02, 2023

We must be able to defend our homeland, our allies, and our military assets around the world from the threat of hypersonic missiles, no matter where they are launched from. Just as President Trump rebuilt our military, President Trump will build a state-of-the-art next-generation missile defense shield to defend America from missile attack.

Under Joe Biden the world has become vastly more dangerous, and there is no greater danger than the deadly menace of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles.

World War Three would be a catastrophe unlike any other. The best way to ensure that such a conflict ever happens is to be prepared with unmatched technology and unrivaled strength.

President Trump will work with Congress and our great military leaders to build a state-of-the-art, next generation missile defense shield, just as Israel is now protected by the Iron Dome.

America must have an impenetrable dome to protect our people.

President Trump rebuilt our military at a level that nobody thought possible, but we must take that further step.

TRANSCRIPT

Under Joe Biden, the world has become vastly more dangerous—and there is no greater danger than the deadly menace of nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles.

Hypersonic missiles move at many times the speed of sound, and six times faster than current missiles. Armed with nuclear weapons, they could annihilate entire cities and even countries within minutes—and we cannot let this happen.

If you take a look right now, the nuclear word is being mentioned all the time. This is a word that you’re not allowed to use. It was never used during the Trump administration, but now other countries are using that word against us because they have no respect for our leadership. World War Three would be a catastrophe unlike any other. This would make World War One and World War Two like very small battles.

The best way to ensure that such a conflict never happens is to be prepared with unmatched technology and unrivaled strength.

To this end, when I am Commander-in-Chief—which we did an awfully good job at rebuilding our military. We rebuilt the entire military—once again, I will work with Congress and our great military leaders. Not the ones you see on television, I don’t consider them leaders. We’re going to work with them to build a state-of-the-art next-generation missile defense shield. Just as Israel is now protected by the Iron Dome, a dream once thought impossible, America must have an impenetrable dome to protect our people. We worked with Israel to develop that Dome. They relied on us, not just them, they relied on us.

We have technology that’s unsurpassed but our past leaders haven’t really wanted to use it. I rebuilt our military at a level that nobody thought possible, but we have to now go that further step. We must be able to defend our homeland, our allies, and our military assets around the world from the threat of hypersonic missiles—no matter where they are launched from.

Our adversaries must understand that they, not the United States, will be totally destroyed if they ever dare to launch missiles against our homeland.

The Space Force, which was inaugurated under my leadership, will have a very vital role to play. It was such an important thing that we did. The Democrats fought us all the way, but we got it past, first time in 79 years, a new force.

Just as I rebuilt our military, especially our nuclear capabilities, I will build the shield to defend America from missile attack. We will have a peace through strength. And that’s what we had, and we had no wars during the Trump administration. We had no wars—remember that. Because we were strong, the other side knew it, and they didn’t want to play games, they didn’t want to mess around.

Thank you.
