Senate Democrat: Wireless spectrum sale could put Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ missile shield at risk
WASHINGTON — The top Democrat on the US Senate Commerce Committee says the sale of wireless spectrum held by the Pentagon could put President Donald Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense shield and other military projects at risk.
Senator Maria Cantwell says mandating the sale of military wireless spectrum also could endanger a substantial number of military radar systems. “Acting to auction this band before we understand the full consequences of doing so risks exposing the United States to even more significant incursions – and next time, it may not merely be a Chinese balloon that we can’t afford to miss,” Cantwell says.
