Event Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced that Canada is in high-level discussions with the United States about joining President Donald Trump's proposed $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense program. This multilayered system, expected to be operational by 2029, aims to detect and intercept advanced missiles from nations like China and Russia. While Canada and the United States are partners in the International — NORAD, this move comes amidst recent tensions in their bilateral relationship. Mark Carney emphasized the importance of having protections for Canadians against future missile threats, which he warned could come from space. Donald Trump confirmed Canada's interest and stated he would work with Ottawa to ensure its 'fair share' contribution.
