Bipartisan Group of 23 U.S. Senators Urge Trudeau to Meet NATO's 2% Defense Spending Target
May 23, 2024, 09:05 PM
A bipartisan group of 23 U.S. senators has written a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, urging him to meet NATO's 2% GDP defense spending target. The senators emphasized that Canada's current defense spending is well below the NATO guideline and shows no sign of reaching the 2% baseline this decade. They highlighted the growing threats faced by NATO members and stressed the importance of Canada honoring its obligation to ensure collective security. The letter reflects ongoing concerns among U.S. lawmakers about Canada's commitment to its NATO obligations.
