US President Trump Slams Canada for rejecting his proposed “Golden Dome” missile defense project over Greenland. He warned that Beijing could “eat them up” within a year as Canada opts for closer ties with China instead of US-backed security.
Trump Slams Canada Over Greenland Golden Dome
On Truth Social, Trump said, “Canada is against The Golden Dome being built over Greenland, even though The Golden Dome would protect Canada. Instead, they voted in favor of doing business with China, who will ‘eat them up’ within the first year.”
Trump’s comments come amid rising tensions between the US and Canada, following recent statements from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.
On Wednesday, during his speech at the 56th Annual Summit of the WEF, Trump criticized Carney. He claimed that Canada should be more “grateful” to the US for the “freebies” it receives, including security protections.
Warns ‘China Will Eat Them Up’
“Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way. They should also be grateful, but they’re not. I saw your PM yesterday; he wasn’t so grateful. They should be grateful to us,” Trump said. He added that his plan to build a “Golden Dome” missile defense system will also provide protection to Canada.
“Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements,” Trump emphasized, highlighting the US’s strategic and security role in protecting its northern neighbor.
In a post on X, Carney wrote, “We’ve secured a new trade agreement with China, unlocking more than $7 billion in export markets for Canadian workers and businesses.”
