Canada is engaging in high-level discussions with the United States about potentially joining President Trump's proposed Golden Dome missile defense system, a multilayered initiative valued at $175 billion. Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed ongoing conversations, emphasizing the necessity of such protections for Canadians against evolving missile threats, including potential dangers from space. While Canada is exploring contributions to the program, its government is also navigating complex trade relations with the U.S., seeking to diversify security partnerships amid challenging diplomatic ties.
"Is it a good idea for Canada? Yes, it is good to have protections in place for Canadians," said Prime Minister Carney, emphasizing the necessity of missile defense.
"We are conscious that we have an ability, if we so choose, to complete the Golden Dome with investments in partnership (with the US)," noted Carney during the press conference.
Carney warned that new missile threats could arise from space, indicating Canada takes the potential dangers seriously as they engage in discussions with the US.
The Golden Dome program, valued at $175 billion, aims to create a multilayered defense system against a spectrum of modern missile threats, according to President Trump.
