“U.S. President Donald Trump has put a price tag on Canada joining his proposed Golden Dome missile defence system — and renewed his annexation threat in the process. Trump posted on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday that it will cost Canada $61 billion US to join the Golden Dome ‘if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation,’ but will cost nothing ‘if they become our cherished 51st State.’ He claimed Canada is ‘considering’ the offer. This comes on the same day as the throne speech was delivered in Parliament by King Charles, during which he asserted Canada’s sovereignty and Prime Minister Mark Carney committed his government to joining a major European defence rearmament plan.” (05/27/25)
