US EditionU.S. envoy closely eyes Canada defence spending; says NATO about collective defence
- Prime Minister Mark Carney held a press conference on June 6, 2025, in Ottawa to discuss defence priorities before the NATO Leaders Summit.
- His announcements follow NATO defence ministers’ June 5 meeting that prepared for raising spending targets to 5 percent of GDP by the June 24-25 summit.
- Canada currently spends about 1.37 percent of GDP on defence but plans to increase this to 2 percent by 2030 and possibly higher following NATO proposals.
- Defence Minister David McGuinty said reaching 2 percent requires an additional $20 billion annually, while a 3.5 percent target demands tens of billions more each year.
- Canada is accelerating defence spending and supports NATO as key to transatlantic security amid heightened threats like Russia's aggression in Ukraine.
