Trump offers Canada protection with a “golden dome”. But it must be 51.

US President Donald Trump proposed a free coverage of Canada with the American anti -discount system “Golden Dome”. In return, Canada would have to become the 51st American state. The cost of the shield for independent Canada would be $ 61 billion.

The Canadian government has already rejected Trump's proposal, which the president posted on Truth Social. Prime Minister Marek Carney spokesman, quoted by the “Financial Times”, emphasized that Canada would remain an independent and sovereign state.

The “Golden Dome” is a vision of a state -of -the -art system capable of capturing hostile rockets, even those fired from space. It is to protect the United States against hyper -healing missiles, advanced maneuvering shells and intercontinental ballistical shells.

Jacek Tarociński, security analyst from the Eastern Studies Center, is enthusiastically cooling. In his opinion, the “golden dome” will not provide immediate, complete immunity, and what's more, he can provoke a strong reaction of the US rivals.

Despite Trump's assurances about the launch of the project until the end of his term, experts are skeptical about the deadline. The technology needed to create devices in space does not yet exist. The Congress Budget Bureau estimates that the cost of such an undertaking may reach $ 542 billion in 20 years.

The USA and Canada have been cooperating in the field of security under North American Aerospace Defense Command since 1958. This joint military command is responsible for protecting the airspace and space of North America, including warning against threats.

The headquarters of Norad is located in Peterson Air Force Base in the American state of Colorado, with regional branches in both countries, including Alaska.
