In a stunning Truth Social post, Donald Trump proposed Canada join the U.S. as its 51st state—offering free access to America’s new $176B “Golden Dome” missile shield. The alternative? A $61B bill for defense.
Canada’s response: a firm no way. PM Carney slammed the idea as “non-negotiable,” defending national sovereignty.
The Golden Dome, designed to intercept missiles—including space-based threats—is causing global uproar. China and North Korea condemned it as a dangerous step toward militarizing space.
Trump’s move? Bold diplomacy or headline-hunting showmanship? Either way, it’s sparked a high-stakes debate on identity, defense, and power in the 21st century.
