Russia and China on Thursday slammed US President Donald Trump' plans for an "Iron Dome" missile defense system as "deeply destabilizing" in a joint statement issued after talks between presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping in Moscow.

"The recently announced large-scale 'Golden (Iron) Dome for America' program is also deeply destabilizing," said the statement published by the Kremlin. The plan "explicitly provides for a significant strengthening of the arsenal for conducting combat operations in space", it added.
