“President Donald Trump said Canada would need to pay $61 billion to join the ‘Golden Dome’ system he’s proposed to boost missile defense with space-based interceptors,” Bloomberg reports.

“But the president needled Ottawa by saying he would be willing to protect Canada for free if the nation opted to join the United States, his latest suggestion that the northern neighbor would benefit from being absorbed by the US.”

Applegrove:

does Trump know he can't build the Golden Dome without Canada? That all those soviet missiles aimed at the US are pointed to go over the Arctic and that is where the radar will need to be.
