Carney says Canada in talks with U.S. on ‘Golden Dome’ missile defence

On May 21, 2025, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney disclosed talks with the U.S. About joining the Golden Dome missile defense program in Washington, D.C.
These talks follow President Donald Trump's May 20 announcement of the $175 billion Golden Dome system, planned to be operational by 2029 to counter advanced missile threats.
The multilayered Golden Dome aims to detect and intercept missiles throughout all flight phases, using space-based weapons despite major technical and operational challenges.
Carney warned that excluding Canada could expose it to missile threats, including from space, and emphasized that final participation depends on military assessments rather than negotiations.
Canada's possible involvement marks a shift from its 1985 rejection of Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative and may reshape defense relations amid rising missile threats from China and Russia.
