The Canadian government is weighing the possibility of investing in U.S. President Donald Trump's ambitious $175-billion Golden Dome missile defense project, as confirmed by Prime Minister Mark Carney during a press conference on Wednesday.

This announcement follows Trump's Tuesday declaration of selecting a design for the defense system, aimed at neutralizing threats from China and Russia. Carney, who recently took office with a strong stance against Trump's policies, acknowledged having multiple discussions with the president about Canada's involvement in the project.

While avoiding specifics on potential Canadian investment, Carney emphasized the strategic benefits of joining the Golden Dome initiative for national security. He noted that participation in such partnerships could enhance protections for both Canadians and the nation.
