LIVE: ‘Essentially a Slush Fund’ | Senator Reed Blasts Trump’s Golden Dome Missile Defense Plan
LIVE coverage of the congressional fight over Donald Trump’s Golden Dome missile-defense project.
Senator Jack Reed, the senior Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, previously described the administration’s Golden Dome funding request as ‘essentially a slush fund’, arguing that the White House had not clearly explained what the system would achieve or when.
Reed has also described Golden Dome as a very expensive and technically challenging operation, while stressing that Congress needs to determine whether the system is feasible and cost-effective.
