Donald Trump sent a message out to other nations with his announcement of America's Golden Dome missile defence system.

The US President announced yesterday (20 May) that plans are underway for the nation to introduce a Golden Dome that will protect the country with the ability to detect missiles and stop them at any stage of its attack around the world.

Trump has had a very strong stance when it has come to the military, claiming in January that 'the most catastrophic threat' the country faces is a missile attack.

In response, the 78-year-old said in the Oval Office on Tuesday that the system would involve deploying weapons in space for the first time.

While there were a number of charts, graphs, and images behind the President, one stood out in particular.

Depicting a dome over the US, the message above reads: "This is a Very Dangerous World.

"We're going to protect our citizens like never before!"

Trump has once again flexed his muscles and snuck a jab at some nations that aren't the best of friends with the US, with plans for the new system set to be completed this decade.

In fact, the President claimed that it would be 'fully operational before the end of his term', less than four years from now.

He revealed that the government had made a 'down payment' of $25 billion, though he expects it to cost about $175 billion (£130 billion) in total.

However, the Congressional Budget Office predicts it to cost around $542 billion (£405billion) for space equipment on its own, for the next 20 years.

Trump claimed that this would keep the country from suffering a 'foreign missile attack', adding that attacks from space would also be thwarted under the Golden Dome defence.

He said to reporters: "We will have the best system ever built.

"As you know, we helped Israel with theirs and that's been very successful, and now we have technology that is even [further] advanced than that."

The 78-year-old said that this would be 'completing the job' that Ronald Reagan started decades ago, and preventing any future missile threat to the US.

However, it looks like China aren't the biggest fan, with foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning revealing that the US dome would bring 'strong offensive implications', while increasing the likelihood of a war in space.

"The United States, in pursuing a 'U.S.-first' policy, is obsessed with seeking absolute security for itself," Ning said, adding that Trump put his country first without thinking about any repercussions.

While being 'seriously concerned' with the move, the spokesperson added: "This violates the principle that the security of all countries should not be compromised and undermines global strategic balance and stability. China is seriously concerned about this."

She believes that the US would become stronger by building relationships with the major nations.
