Carney says Canada too reliant on U.S. for defence as he hikes military spending

June 9, 2025
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada is too reliant on the United States for defence as he announced he will boost military spending to meet NATO’s 2-per-cent military expenditure target this fiscal year – five years ahead of schedule.But even as Mr. Carney detailed plans to meet the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s benchmark of spending 2 per cent of Gross Domestic Product on defence, he appeared to push back against a new campaign among NATO alliance members to raise that target to 3.5 per cent or 5 per cent.
