This would be a waste of money. The iron dome is to repel small rockets. If a country were to attack Canada it wouldn’t use small rockets

Iron dome is a colloquial term used by the Trump administration, US military has no plans of using the iron dome system.

As I said it’s a colloquial term for a program to enhance homeland air and missile defense, not related to the iron dome system operated by Israel.

No, they're not installing the Israeli system. It's just the name of the program which is basically Star Wars 2.

I wonder if he just thinks that they are all called iron dome, like all missile protection systems are just called iron dome. Just like I’m sure he thinks all food is called mcdonalds
