Mark Carney Plans to Reduce Canada’s Defense Reliance on US

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has signaled a major shift in the country’s defense policy, vowing to reduce dependence on the United States and increase domestic military investment.

According to Canadian media, while addressing the Liberal Party’s national convention in Montreal, Mark Carney called national sovereignty and defense self-reliance the central point of his political strategy.

On this occasion, he said that the time has passed when 70 cents of every dollar of Canadian military spending went to the United States.

Mark Carney said that the global situation is changing rapidly and Canada can no longer rely entirely on past alliances. Domestic military investment will be increased by reducing defense dependence on the United States.
