Trump at Davos Tells Netanyahu to Stop Taking Credit for Iron Dome, Touts 'Golden Dome' Plan

Coverage underscores Israeli origins of Iron Dome despite Trump's assertion of U.S. ownership.

Overview

In a World Economic Forum address, President Trump said Iron Dome is U.S. technology and claimed he told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop taking credit.
Iron Dome was developed by Israeli firms Rafael and Israel Aerospace Industries and entered service in 2011, with substantial U.S. funding and later collaboration following its initial development.
News outlets and analysts noted that Trump's attribution conflicts with the established record of the system's Israeli development.
Trump promoted a proposed U.S. 'Golden Dome' missile-defense network to protect North America, with Reuters reporting an estimated cost of about $175 billion and Space Force prototype contracts to Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Anduril, and True Anomaly.
He also referenced interest in Greenland for potential basing related to the concept and said no force would be used to pursue it.
