Trump: "Golden Dome for Canada will be free if it agrees to become 51st state
US President Donald Trump said that if Canada agrees to become the 51st US state, the Golden Dome System will be free of charge for it. He said this in a post on the social network.
According to Trump, Canada wants to be part of the Golden Dome. However, for a country with an "unequal nation" it will cost $61 billion.
"But it will cost ZERO DOLLARS if they become our favorite 51st state. They are considering this proposal," the US President said.
