  • President Trump and his people appear to be hard at work on a new nuclear deal with Iran.

  • Because if we can settle it with a very strong document,

  • very strong, with inspections and no trust, I don't trust anybody.

  • They gotta make a new one

  • because Donald Trump tore up the old one the last time he was president,

  • but I digress.

  • The point of such a deal would be to make the Middle East,

  • and thus the world, a safer place.

  • One where we'd have to worry a little less about nuclear war.

  • But at the same time, Donald Trump is trying to realize his dreams of a Golden Dome.

  • We're building the Golden Dome Missile Defense Shield.

  • A Golden Dome Missile Defense Shield would,

  • in theory, protect the United States from nuclear war,

  • but it turns out it might also make us more vulnerable.

  • We're going to tell you how on Today Explained.
