Trump says US will put weapons in space as part of _Golden Dome_ plan

US President Donald Trump says he's selected a design for an ambitious project to shield the United States from next generation missile attacks.
The so-called “Golden Dome” system would rely on space-based defense systems and comes with a huge price tag.
Congress is considering whether to fund an initial 25 billion dollar down payment for the project.

Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro reports from Washington, DC.
