President Donald Trump has suggested that Canada is contemplating an offer to join the United States as its 51st state.
This proposal is seen as a means for Canada to avoid the hefty $61 billion price tag associated with the Trump administration's ambitious "Golden Dome" defense system. The system is designed to provide comprehensive protection against global threats, including those from outer space.
"I told Canada, which very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System, that it will cost $61 Billion Dollars if they remain a separate, but unequal, Nation, but will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our cherished 51st State. They are considering the offer!" Trump shared on Truth Social.
As reported by The Post Millennial, the White House has committed to a $175 billion investment in the Golden Dome initiative. This defense system is expected to intercept missiles and projectiles from various global locations, enhancing national security. President Trump has entrusted Space Force General Michael Guetlein with the responsibility of overseeing this significant project, which aims to safeguard the nation for future generations.
General Guetlein emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating, "We owe it to our children and our children's children to protect them and afford them a quality of life that we have all grown up enjoying. Golden Dome will afford that.
President Trump's remarks about Canada potentially becoming the 51st state have sparked discussions within Canadian political circles. The notion has been a recurring theme in Trump's rhetoric, often delivered with a touch of humor. Meanwhile, King Charles, during a visit to Ontario, Canada, recently addressed the suggestion, offering a rebuttal to the idea.
