Trump Pressures Canada Over “Golden Dome” Defense System

Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that Canada would need to pay $61 billion if it wants to join the proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system.اضافة اعلان

Trump’s remarks come after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney expressed interest last week in exploring potential investments in the high-tech defense project, which is estimated to cost $175 billion in total, according to Reuters.

The “Golden Dome” is designed to integrate ground-based interceptor missiles with satellite technology to create a comprehensive shield against advanced hypersonic missile threats.

However, the project has drawn sharp criticism from China, Russia, and North Korea, which warn that it represents a dangerous arms race and could destabilize global security by effectively militarizing space.

Critics fear that the initiative could trigger further geopolitical tensions, while supporters argue it is essential for defending against emerging threats in an era of rapidly evolving military technology.
