Abstract: 
The current US administration plans to protect the entire territory of the United States against any potential air or missile attack. The focus is on deploying large satellite constellations capable of detecting and intercepting long-range missiles shortly after launch. Even if only a fraction of this ambitious plan is likely to be implemented, it is probable that there will be progress in missile defense during the coming years. For Germany and Europe, the risks and potential benefits - especially with regard to space-based US missile defense - are difficult to assess at the current time. However, Europe can maintain the largest possible room for maneuver by avoiding an open confrontation over Trump's plans.
