Who decides who is protected?: Sen King turns up heat on Trachtenberg over Trump's 'Golden Dome'
Senator Angus King led a Congressional hearing Tuesday focused on the costs and aims of President Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defense project. The senator, who is a ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Strategic Forces, expressed concern to an assembly of experts over the project's potential cost to taxpayers. Speaking to David Trachtenberg, a senior scholar at the National Institute for Public Policy, Senator King claimed the details released by the Trump administration surrounding the Golden Dome have been insufficient to justify support.
