Carney Says Canada Open to Joining US “Golden Dome” Missile Shield
In a significant development during a press conference in Ottawa on Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney indicated that Canada is open to potentially joining the U.S. "Golden Dome" missile defense project. The ambitious $175 billion initiative, promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump, seeks to enhance missile defense capabilities across North America. Carney highlighted ongoing discussions about the project at "high levels," suggesting that Canada is carefully weighing its involvement in this critical defense strategy.
During the press briefing, Carney also addressed the pressing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. He emphasized the urgent need for adequate humanitarian aid to reach the region, where many residents are facing starvation. Carney’s remarks reflect Canada’s stance, alongside other nations, urging Israel to facilitate aid deliveries to the beleaguered population.
In light of recent tensions, Carney condemned the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) firing upon Canadian diplomats. He announced that the Israeli ambassador has been summoned to global affairs, decrying the attacks as “unacceptable.” This statement underscores Canada’s commitment to protecting its diplomatic personnel and addressing violations of international norms in the region.
As discussions surrounding missile defense and humanitarian efforts unfold, Carney’s statements highlight Canada’s delicate balancing act between national security interests and international human rights advocacy.
