A Democratic victory could block hundreds of billions of dollars of Trump projects Analysts at TD Cowen believe it will now be more difficult for Republicans to allocate money to Trump's key defense projects. We are talking about the Golden Dome missile defense system, worth up to 175 billion dollars, and the Golden Fleet, a group of 280-300 manned and unmanned ships. Its construction by 2056 may cost 275 billion dollars. Analysts estimate that Republicans also lost an opportunity to pass a $1.5 trillion defense budget with a simple majority. In addition, the election results may speed up congressional investigations into the US military operation against Iran and increase pressure on Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth. Lawmakers in both parties have previously raised the possibility of his impeachment.
