‘Considering the offer!’ Trump offers Canada missile shield – at a price

President Donald Trump claimed Tuesday that Canada is weighing an offer to become the 51st U.S. state to dodge a $61 billion fee for joining what he called his "fabulous" so-called Golden Dome missile shield.

“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,” Trump wrote Tuesday in a Truth Social post.
