Mark Carney Says Trump ‘Won The Argument’ On NATO Spending
Canada will spend $800 million on missiles and extend its Latvia mission as Carney says NATO allies now accept higher defence budgets.
- On Wednesday at the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, Prime Minister Mark Carney said U.S. President Donald Trump has "won the argument" regarding increased military spending among member nations.
- Trump's 2025 decision to raise the NATO spending target to 5 per cent of national GDP forces Carney's government to spend an additional $68.2 billion annually compared to previous targets.
- Carney announced an $800-million submarine contract with German manufacturer TKMS, alongside plans to acquire Kongsberg joint strike missiles for Royal Canadian Air Force F-35s.
- Operation Reassurance, the decade-old Canadian-led multinational brigade in Latvia, extends until 2031, with troop counts increasing to about 2,600 from 2,200.
- While Trump sought "offensive" support for operations in Iran, Carney noted Canada lacked relevant capabilities, while Spain rejected U.S. requests to use its territory for attacks.
