Canadian Ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman responded over the past hour to President Donald Trump's Truth Social post claiming Canada is 'against' the Golden Dome, stating Canada is investing over $80 billion over the next five years in its defense systems and maintains interoperability with U.S. and allied forces, according to an X post by Face the Nation. Hillman said, "Canada is investing over $80 billion over the next 5 years in our defense systems” and “we're interoperable.” She added, “We make our investments that make sense for Canada and defending our territory and defending our sovereignty, but we work with the Americans and other allies to maximize the benefits of those,” per the Face the Nation post. Separately, during the same 59-minute period ending at 6:15 p.m. UTC on Jan. 25, House Speaker Mike Johnson became emotional recounting how Rep. Doug LaMalfa was the only House member to sign up to help him with a speaking engagement, according to an X post by ZavalaA.
