Canada Steps Up, NATO Tensions Rise | Edmonton News
Description
Canada’s PM Mark Carney is heading to the NATO summit in Turkey with a bold defense upgrade message—having hit the 2% GDP target and aiming for 5% by 2035 through major investments in submarines and infrastructure. But tensions loom as Trump rails against NATO, demands allies pay more, and stirs up Greenland fever, forcing NATO to focus on survival. Carney will also unveil Canada’s new Defense, Security and Resilience Bank and recommit to Ukraine, even as years of bureaucracy delay real combat readiness—like radar systems by 2029 and subs even later. No direct Trump meetings planned, but side encounters may happen.
