Conversation to join us in ‘high level’ in Canada ‘Golden Dome’ missile defense scheme: PM Mark Carney

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Karney told a press conference on Wednesday that “high levels” talks with the United States about being involved in the proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense system by US President Donald Trump.“We are conscious that we have an ability, if we choose so, to complete the golden dome with investment in partnership (with the US). And this is something we are seeing and something that is discussed at a high level, “Carney said.However, the Liberal party leader, under which he won a Snap Federal Election last month, when he succeeded as fellow Liberal Justin Trudeau as Prime Minister in March, also “warned of new and growing missile threats”.“These threats can come from space, not in a very distant future. We take those dangers seriously,” Carney said.He said, “My government is also interacting with our European colleagues to become a full partner of Rearum Europe,” he said, referring to the European defense capabilities and an initiative to the industry.North American neighbor Canada and the United States are partners in continental defense through the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad).At the same time, Ottawa is looking to diversify its trade and safety participation, once strong relationships with Washington captured the tariff.It recently announced a review of a major purchase of US -made F -35 fighter aircraft and signed an agreement with Australia to develop the Arctic radar system.GoldenDomeThe ambitious, the next generation system takes inspiration from Israel’s famous Iron Dome and has an estimated cost as $ 542 billion in two decades. The Golden Dome is designed as a space-based shield that will disrupt the dangers coming before reaching our soil. Unlike traditional systems, which rely on the ground-based intercourse, the initiative will use a constellation of satellites capable of detecting and making missiles in the early stages of the flight. This technique is also expected to provide protection from other continents or from the missiles launched from space, which addresses the dangers developed from countries such as China, Russia, North Korea and potential Iran.
