Former President Donald Trump has revived his promise to build "the best Iron Dome in the world" for the US. Experts say it likely wouldn't make strategic sense given the US doesn't face the same threats as Israel. Israel's Iron Dome is a missile defense system that knocks down short-range rockets fired from Lebanon, helping protect Israeli citizens from frequent attacks. Experts believe the Iron Dome is unnecessary in the US because the country doesn't face the same short-range missile threats as Israel, due to its friendly neighbors and large oceans. Trump often focuses on building tangible infrastructure to symbolize policy goals, but past promises like a border wall saw limited results.
