Trump earlier said that his administration is launching the historic “Golden Dome” missile defense shield program, aimed at delivering the highest level of protection for US airspace.The negotiations are part of “wide-ranging” Canada-US discussions to develop security and economic partnership, CTV News reports. This comes after US President Donald Trump claimed that Canada wants to be involved in the $175 billion Golden Dome project, which he said would be “fully operational” before January 2029. Since his re-election, Trump has repeatedly made it clear he wants to see Canada become the “51st state” of America, which infuriated both Canadian leaders and residents.AnalysisCanada’s Desire to Join the EU: Revenge on Trump or Neocon Grand Design?22 April, 17:57 GMT
