Canada is in talks with the U.S. over President Donald Trump’s proposed “Golden Dome” missile defence system even as the two countries are locked in a bruising trade war and Prime Minister Mark Carney is promising to lessen Ottawa’s dependence on Washington.

“Canada has called us and they want to be a part of it, so we’ll be talking to them. They want to have protection also, so as usual, we help Canada as best we can,” the President said Tuesday in the Oval Office.
