Canada plans to hit NATO spending target early and reduce reliance on US defense, Carney says
Canada will meet NATO’s military spending guideline by early next year and diversify defense spending away from the United States, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Monday, asserting that Washington no longer plays a predominant role on the world stage.
The announcement means Canada will achieve NATO’s spending target of 2% of gross domestic product five years earlier than previously planned.
“Our military infrastructure and equipment have aged, hindering our military preparedness,” Carney said. “Only one of our four submarines is seaworthy. Less than half of our maritime fleet and land vehicles are operational. More broadly, we are too reliant on the United States.”
