In a startling admission, US President donald trump said that canada is considering becoming the 51st state to join the US in exchange for free use of the recently unveiled "Golden Dome" missile defense system.
"Canada wants to be part of our amazing Golden Dome system," trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. I informed them that becoming our 51st state would be entirely free, but being a separate nation would cost them USD 61 billion. "They're considering it!" was how he concluded the message. Regarding Trump's invitation, Canadian officials have not yet issued an official statement.
Trump unveiled his USD 175 billion Golden Dome project last week, claiming it will be a multi-layered defensive system that can thwart missile attacks, even those from space. trump said the system will be ready by 2029, marking the first time the united states has sent a weapon into space.
Recently, Canadian prime minister Mark Carney affirmed that his administration has been discussing the missile defense program with the United States. Carney stated at a press conference that "it's important for Canadians to have strong defenses in place." He went on to say that talks concerning Canada's possible participation in the Golden Dome system are still going on with trump and other American leaders.
The Golden Dome missile defense system combines space and ground technology to prevent missile threats. By attacking missiles before they are launched, shortly after takeoff, while they are in space, and finally, just before they reach their target, it seeks to defend against strikes at each critical moment.
