The Golden Dome Has Kicked Off a Global Investment Trend

It began with the Iron Dome — the anti-air defense shield that’s safeguarded Israel from regional adversaries like Hamas and Iran.

And it’s quickly snowballed into a global trend.

When President Trump reassumed the presidency at the start of the year, he was immediately alerted to the cutting-edge offensive capabilities wielded by America’s adversaries.

Hypersonic missiles that travel five times the speed of sound…

ICBMs with glide vehicles that make interception almost impossible…

And autonomous drone swarms…

All of these things are capable of overwhelming traditional defenses with speed, maneuverability, and sheer volume.

Trump’s response was to launch the biggest defense initiative since the Manhattan Project — a massive shield spanning air, land, sea, and space — to safeguard the American homeland.

He called it the Golden Dome.

And almost as soon as the project got underway, other countries came to realize the same thing Trump did.

Their defenses are woefully inadequate. Faced with an onslaught of modern weapons from Russia or China, they’d quickly be overrun.

So now they’re following Trump’s lead by building domes of their own.

Taiwan is working on the “T-Dome” to counter China.

Taiwan’s defense spending has already doubled in just the past few years. It’s set to hit $31 billion in 2026. And the country’s president, Lai Ching-te, just announced another “historic” $40 billion increase to the defense budget over the next eight years.

Lai says that will include a “T-dome” air defense system with advanced detection and interception technology to “weave a safety net” over the island.

Meanwhile, Europe has also embarked on a historical increase in defense spending aimed at corralling Russia’s aggression.

That, too, will necessitate a dome of sorts.

“We see in Ukraine how Russia delivers terror from above, so we will strengthen the shield that protects our skies,” NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says. “Wishful thinking will not keep us safe. We cannot dream away the danger. Hope is not a strategy. So NATO has to become a stronger, fairer, and more lethal alliance.”

Italian defense firm Leonardo is already positioning itself to contribute.

The company just unveiled what it calls the “Michelangelo Dome" — another multi-layered defense system that connects platforms across air, space, land, and sea.

"This is a model that is important for security in Italy, Europe, and NATO countries in the coming years," Leonardo Chief Executive Roberto Cingolani said at an unveiling in Rome.

The Michelangelo Dome could be fully operational by 2028, with partial implementation in the interim.

Again, though, it’s not just meant to safeguard Italy — it’s meant to plug into a larger European network of similar defense shields.

"Each country can integrate its own technologies," Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said after a meeting with French defense officials. "Together, we can cooperate to create a highly advanced defence system against all types of threats, from hypersonic missiles to small drones, because threats now come in many different forms."

Indeed, Europe is slightly bigger than the United States, with an extra 100,000 square miles to defend. And its disparate members have different ideas on spending, capabilities, and contractors.

However, this endeavor suggests each country could work at its own pace and in its own way so long as their respective air defense systems can be coordinated.

That could even accelerate development and deployment, with different powers covering different parts of the continent.

In any case, this worldwide boom in dome development will mean big money for defense contractors — and especially U.S. firms, which are simply more capable than their European and Pacific counterparts.

Obviously, the U.S. initiative will also be the biggest, requiring scores of input from various partners.

Thanks to Trump, we also have a head start.

In fact, the Space Force has issued its first set of awards for prototype space-based interceptors. These are intended to shoot down incoming enemy missiles in their boost phase just minutes after launch.

Of course, the winners of those contracts are being kept secret.

However, investors can still profit from the Golden Dome — as well as the T-Dome, and Michaelangelo Dome — by getting my full report on the subject here.
