U.S. approves $2.68B arms sale to Canada for precision bombs, boosting defense ties amid Arctic concerns and NATO goals.
The U.S. has approved a $2.68 billion sale of precision-guided bombs and related equipment to Canada, including thousands of BLU-111, GBU-39, and JDAM kits, to boost military capabilities and interoperability with U.S. forces.
The deal, announced December 4, 2025, supports Canada’s accelerated defense spending under Prime Minister Mark Carney, who aims to meet NATO’s 2% GDP target years ahead of schedule.
This move follows concerns over U.S. reliability and Russian activity in the Arctic, amid strained relations due to former President Trump’s criticisms of NATO and remarks about Canada.
The transaction requires congressional review and formal agreements.
