WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump says his plan for a missile defence shield includes collaboration with Canada.

Discussing aspects of his “Golden Dome” defence plan in the Oval Office today, Trump says that Canada “called” and wants to be involved.

The president says it “automatically” makes sense to include America’s northern neighbour but insists Canada will “pay their fair share.”

Canada and the United States already work together through the North American Aerospace Defense Command, called NORAD.
