- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated on Tuesday that U.S. President Donald Trump's Golden Dome missile defense shield could cost approximately $1.2 trillion to develop, deploy and operate over 20 years, a figure that dwarfs an $185 billion price tag offered by the program's Pentagon director.
