A former U.S. envoy to Ottawa says Trudeau’s reported NATO comments could prove to be a setback for future U.S.-Canada relations
officials that Canada would never meet the military alliance’s spending target of 2 per cent of GDP.
“It’s one of those things that causes governments to lose confidence,” Mr. Jacobson told an audience of lawyers, trade experts and former diplomats at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. The Post said the unsigned, undated document, which The Canadian Press has not seen, mentions “widespread” military deficiencies in Canada that are causing friction with security partners and allies.
“What will happen is that the American public is going to decide, ‘Why should we do this? Why should we defend the world?’” Mr. Jacobson said. It’s in the best interests of the U.S. to do it, he added. NATO, for instance, is “concerned” Canada hasn’t added to the ranks of its battle group in Latvia, part of a multinational deterrence mission in eastern Europe known as Operation Reassurance.
“We … discussed the upward trajectory of our defence spending,” Ms. Anand said, “and in fact how Canada continues to make foundational investments for the Canadian Armed Forces.”
