23 US senators urge Canada to meet its 2% GDP commitment on defense spending ahead of NATO's summit.
23 US senators have written to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urging Canada to meet its 2% GDP commitment on defense spending, expressing concerns that key NATO members are not fulfilling their obligations. The senators note that Canada's defense spending is projected to rise to only 1.7% by 2029, five years after the agreed-upon deadline of 2024. The letter comes ahead of NATO's 75th annual summit in Washington, D.C. in two months.
