What is Trump's missile defense plan? Trump’s remarks came a few days after the unveiling of his ambitious missile defense plan. The plan aims to create a space-based interceptor shield that will provide protection against ballistic missiles, hypersonics and advanced cruise missiles. Trump claimed that the project would be fully operational by the end of its term, although experts have questioned the feasibility of this technology.

President Trump has estimated the cost of this security program to be $175 billion, while Congress is currently demanding $25 billion to start the work. According to a Congressional Budget Office estimate, To implement this entire plan, America may have to spend up to $542 billion (about Rs 50 lakh crore) in 20 years.

The US and Canada have maintained a strong military alliance for decades. Especially through the joint North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). Trump’s recent rhetoric has increased tensions in relations. His administration had previously launched a trade war against Canada and repeatedly presented the idea of ??incorporating the country into the United States. In the year 2022, Canada has promised to give about $28 billion to modernize NORAD. However, Trump is demanding a much higher amount than this for the new security system.
