What is the "Iron Dome for America"?

February 11, 2025 • 2:00 – 3:00 pm EST

President Donald Trump’s executive order (EO) on an “Iron Dome for America” has caused a buzz across the defense community. But what does an “Iron Dome for America” actually mean?

Please join the CSIS Defense and Security Department for a conversation on the implications of the "Iron Dome for America" executive order, the Pentagon’s implementation strategy, and how it fits into other deterrence and defense priorities.

Dr. Tom Karako, director of the CSIS Missile Defense Project, Kari A. Bingen, director of the CSIS Aerospace Security Project, and Dr. Heather Williams, director of the CSIS Project on Nuclear Issues, will discuss their interpretations of the EO, its implications for the future of strategic forces, and avenues for success.

This event is made possible by general support to CSIS.
