Canada is considering joining the Golden Dome missile defense system, the creation of which was previously announced by US President Donald Trump, Prime Minister Mark Carney said.
“It’s something that we are looking at and something that has been discussed at a high level,” Carney said at a press conference on Wednesday.
He also expressed confidence that Canada faces various external threats, which, in his opinion, come from North Korea and China.
On Tuesday, Trump said that his administration is launching the Golden Dome missile defense shield program worth $175 billion, aimed at delivering the highest level of protection for US airspace. Trump noted that Canada showed interest in joining the program, and his administration plans to discuss this matter with Ottawa.
