North Korea is reportedly concerned about the "Golden Dome" due to potential security threats.
U.S. Space Defense System Sparks Concerns from Russia, China, and North Korea
The U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system has stirred concerns among major nations regarding nuclear deterrence and the potential militarization of space.
Russia, in particular, may perceive the "Golden Dome" as a threat to its national security and deterrence capabilities, given its history of apprehension towards U.S. missile defense systems. Such systems could potentially disrupt the global nuclear balance by undermining Russia's own deterrent[2][4].
China has expressed "grave concern" over the U.S. initiative, viewing it as an attempt to militarize space, which could escalate an arms race and undermine international efforts to prevent the militarization of space[5]. Furthermore, China sees the system as potentially destabilizing, as it could erode China's nuclear deterrent capabilities.
North Korea, heavily sanctioned for its weapons programs, has not publicly responded to the "Golden Dome" proposal. However, considering its sensitivity towards U.S. military initiatives, it may counter by increasing its military capabilities or engaging in diplomatic measures to balance U.S. influence in the region.
The "Golden Dome" system, intended to protect the U.S. against foreign missile threats, has been criticized for potentially fueling a new arms race and disrupting the stability of nuclear deterrence[2][4]. Furthermore, the deployment of space-based sensors and interceptors has raised concerns about the militarization of space, which could have far-reaching implications for international relations and global security[2][4].
The historical context suggests that both Russia and China might respond to the "Golden Dome" by strengthening their own missile defense capabilities or developing countermeasures against U.S. systems. North Korea, despite being subject to a series of UN sanctions, continues its nuclear and missile programs, partly with the support of China and Russia, and may react in a similar manner.

The "Community policy" should address concerns about the potential militarization of space, as highlighted by Russia, China, and North Korea, following the U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed "Golden Dome" missile defense system.
The economic and monetary union should address the implications of the system's deployment, especially in relation to the economic and monetary union, given the potential escalation of arms race and disruption of international efforts towards peace.
