US EditionTrump says Canada will need to pay $61 billion for ‘Golden Dome’ system unless it becomes the 51st state
- President Donald Trump threatened Canada with a $61 billion charge unless it joins the U.S. as the 51st state, tied to his Golden Dome missile defense plan.
- Trump's proposal follows his recent announcement of the Golden Dome, a $175 billion satellite-based missile defense system, amid Canada's firm rejection of annexation.
- King Charles III delivered the throne speech to the Canadian Parliament, emphasizing the nation's independence and indirectly countering President Trump's proposal to annex Canada as a U.S. state.
- Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney, buoyed by electoral support partly fueled by public resistance to U.S. annexation proposals, emphasized that the country would never be sold, while engaging in detailed discussions with the U.S. on security cooperation, including initiatives like the Golden Dome.
- Despite active U.S.-Canada discussions on security programs like Golden Dome, Canada's independence remains firm, making Trump's annexation goal unlikely during his term ending in 2029.
