Donald Trump has announced the concept for his Golden Dome missile defence system – which includes plans for the US put weapons in space for the first time.

The "cutting-edge missile defence system" will include "space-based sensors and interceptors", Mr Trump said, adding the Golden Dome "should be fully operational by the end of my term".

The system - styled on Israel's Iron Dome - will be able to detect and stop missiles at all points of attack, from before launch to when they are descending towards a target, the Trump administration has said.
