US EditionTrump says his Golden Dome missile defence program will include Canada
- On May 20, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced in Washington that Canada has requested to join his Golden Dome missile defence program.
- This announcement followed a meeting earlier that month with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, amid ongoing U.S. Criticism of Canada’s defence spending.
- Trump described the Golden Dome as a multilayered system modelled after Israel’s Iron Dome and Reagan’s satellite-based missile defence concept.
- He projected that the program’s expenses would total $175 billion and that the project would reach completion in a three-year timeframe, emphasizing that Canada will contribute its equitable portion to the joint effort.
- This proposed cooperation suggests an expansion of existing U.S.-Canada defence ties through NORAD despite current trade tensions and defence spending disputes.
