President Donald Trump upped the price tag for Canada to be protected by his highly anticipated Golden Dome missile defense project as the two countries simultaneously negotiate a trade deal to mitigate the worst of Trump’s tariffs.

The president previously said Canada would need to shell out $61 billion for access to the new Golden Dome missile defense shield.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Canada will be helping the U.S. build its "Golden Dome" defense system. The announcement was made late Monday as Trump, 79, made his way back to the White House early from the G7 summit in Calgary.
