At a press conference at the White House on September 2, President Trump gathered with key administration officials and Republican leaders from Alabama, including Senator Katie Britt, to announce that Space Force Headquarters will be located in Huntsville.

"I am thrilled to report that the U.S. Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City," Trump said while making the announcement.

According to the President, the move will result in tens of thousands of jobs in Alabama, along with billions of dollars in investments.

"This will result in more than 30,000 Alabama jobs, and probably much more than that, and hundreds of millions of dollars of investment," the President said. "And that's billions, because it can't be millions. It's billions and billions of dollars."

Space Force, created by Trump during his first administration, will play a significant role in future missile defense of the United States, something the President has called the "Golden Dome."

"In Huntsville, Space Com will play a key role in building the Golden Dome, as you know," President Trump emphasized.

He continued: "That's going to be a big thing. Everybody wants to be a participant in it. Missile Defense Shield, we're going to be having a Golden Dome that the likes of which nobody has ever seen before, the finest, the best. And by the way, Canada called. They want to be a part of it. And that'll be great. But Canada wants very much to be included in that. And then we're going to work something out with them, I hope. They will also ensure that our technological capabilities, of which we're way ahead of anybody else, as nobody close, remain unmatched long into the future."
