US President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order today that calls for the creation of an “Iron Dome” missile defense shield for the United States, CNN reports, citing a document the network says it obtained.
Trump has previously pledged to create such a system — similar to Israel’s missile defense system, which shares the same name — as part of moves to boost US military security.
