Gen. Wesley Clark to Newsmax: I’m ‘All In’ on Trump’s Golden Dome Defense System

Retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark told Newsmax on Tuesday that he’s “all in” on President Donald Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense program.

“This strategic defense is very important for the United States,” Clark said on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren.” “We’ve never done it right. We’ve always dodged it. We’ve got a few interceptors in Alaska and California. It doesn’t deal with the current threat. I’m all in on this, provided the technology is solid and works.”

Trump announced a multilayered $175 billion defense system on Tuesday that will put U.S. weapons in space for the first time. The president said he expects the system to be “fully operational before the end of my term” and capable of intercepting missiles “even if they are launched from space.”
