US EditionTrump says his Golden Dome missile defense program will include Canada
- U.S. President Donald Trump announced on May 20, 2025, in the Oval Office that his Golden Dome missile defense program will include collaboration with Canada.
- The announcement follows Canada’s recent military spending increases and ongoing criticism over not meeting NATO’s defense spending target, which Canada pledges to reach by 2030.
- Trump described the Golden Dome as a multilayered system modeled after Israel’s Iron Dome and Reagan’s satellite interception plan, expanding current U.S.-Canada defenses through NORAD cooperation.
- Trump stated the system will cost $175 billion, become operational within three years, and that Canada has “called” to join and will “pay their fair share.”
- This collaboration suggests increased continental missile defense integration despite trade tensions, with an initial $25-billion budget under congressional review supporting the program.
