Trump says "Golden Dome" will be free for Canada if it joins the U.S.
President Trump claimed Tuesday Canadian officials were considering his proposal for Canada to contribute $61 billion toward his proposed " Golden Dome" missile defense shield versus paying nothing if it became the 51st U.S. state. The big picture: Trump, who has repeatedly threatened Canadian sovereignty, made the comments soon after Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney outlined plans for closer defense ties with the European Union. King Charles III had delivered several subtle jabs to the U.S. and the Trump administration during his speech to the Canadian Parliament earlier Tuesday, saying a "confident Canada" can "give themselves far more than any foreign power can ever take away." Driving the news: Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday he was told Canada "very much wants to be part of our fabulous Golden Dome System," which he said previously would cost about $175 billion and be built over the next three years: State of play: Trump has for months expressed interest in annexing Canada, repeatedly threatening the northern neighbor's sovereignty, and has engaged the allied nation in a tariff war. Canadian Prime Minister Carney made clear to Trump during their White House meeting earlier this month that Canada has no interest in becoming the 51st state of the U.S. Carney told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Tuesday that he wants Canada to sign on to a European defense rearmament plan by July 1. "Seventy-five cents of every dollar of capital spending for defense goes to the United States," he said. "That's not smart." Carney said on X as he shared a video of the British king of Canada's speech earlier Tuesday, "The True North is strong and free." The intrigue: Carney told reporters last week that Canadian officials were "looking into" investing in Trump's proposed defense shield.

King to open Canada's parliament amid Trump threats
King Charles III will outline new Prime Minister Mark Carney's government priorities in a speech in the Canadian parliament, in what's widely viewed as a show of support in the face of annexation threats by US President Donald Trump. Trump's repeated suggestion that the US annex Canada prompted Prime Minister Carney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne. The King is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies. Carney said in a statement the visit spoke to the "vitality of our constitutional monarchy and our distinct identity". It is rare for the monarch to deliver what's called the speech from the throne in Canada. Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, did it twice in her 70-year reign, the last time in 1977. The speech is not written by the king or his UK advisers as Charles serves as a nonpartisan head of state. He will read on Tuesday what is put before him by Canada's government. Carney, the new prime minister and a former head of the Bank of England, and Canada's first Indigenous governor-general, Mary Simon, the King's representative in Canada, met the King on Monday. Canadians are largely indifferent to the monarchy, but Carney has been eager to show the differences between Canada and the United States. The King's visit clearly underscored Canada's sovereignty, he said. Carney won the job of prime minister by promising to confront the increased aggression shown by Trump. The new US ambassador to Canada, Pete Hoekstra, said sending messages to the US is not necessary and Canadians should move on from the 51st state talk, telling the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that if there's a message to be sent there are easier ways to do that, such as calling him or calling the president. A horse-drawn carriage will take the king and queen to the Senate of Canada Building for the speech. It will accompanied by 28 horses - 14 before and 14 after. He will receive the Royal Salute from the 100-person guard of honour from the 3rd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment before entering the chamber for his speech.
