New Democratic Congress will likely strip the gilding from Trump's Golden Dome
摘要
随着民主党即将接管国会，两名支持五角大楼“金穹”导弹防御系统的共和党高层议员将离开国会，该项目未来面临不确定性。军方近期暗示可能放弃特朗普要求的助推段拦截能力。此前该项目一直未受国会严格审查，但民主党接手国防预算后将限制拨款，并提出法案去除最具争议的部分并为项目更名。
Two of the top lawmakers backing the Pentagon's Golden Dome missile defense shield are among the wave of Republicans leaving Congress in the coming Democratic takeover, raising questions about the future of President Donald Trump's signature second-term defense initiative.
The shakeup on Capitol Hill comes after military officials signaled in recent months that they might backpedal from one element Trump asked for in Golden Dome: the capability to shoot down missiles in their initial boost phase shortly after launch.
The Golden Dome has escaped serious congressional scrutiny since Trump announced the program in January 2025, one week into his second term in the White House. That lack of scrutiny will change as Democrats take responsibility for writing the Pentagon's budget, introduce limits on funding, and put forth bills to strip out Golden Dome's most controversial component and give the program a new name.
