Trump Offers Canada "Golden Dome" Perks - But There's a Catch 🤑🇨🇦

The Deets

Okay, so, President Trump is pushing this "Golden Dome" missile defense system – hella expensive, like $175 billion expensive, and says it'll be ready by 2029. He's all up in Canada's DMs, saying, "Yo, if you wanna be part of this, it's gonna cost you $61 billion... unless you wanna, like, become America's 51st state? Then it's free." 👀

Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, is NOT feeling the 51st state thing. He basically said, "We're not for sale, fam." But, plot twist, Canada *has* been talking to the US about the missile system. They're interested, just not *that* interested, ya know?

But wait, there's more drama! Turns out, even though Trump's saying $175 billion, some experts are saying it could cost WAY more, maybe even trillions over time. Also, countries like China, North Korea, and Russia are throwing major shade, saying this whole thing could start a space arms race. Like, chill, everyone! 😬

Oh, and get this: The Golden Dome is kinda based on Israel's Iron Dome, which is for short-range missiles. But the US is worried about missiles that go way farther. So how they're gonna make it work? TBD. This is gonna be a whole saga, y'all. ☕️
