Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., said Wednesday on Newsmax that President Donald Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense system would give the United States military a “big advantage” over China.

But to me, this is a defensive weapon as far as the United States has been concerned. Look, we don’t want to rule the world. We just want to make sure our families are safe and secure.

We spent $200 billion in Ukraine and I don’t know what that did for the safety of American citizens.”
