Canada's Military Has a Trump Problem
Briefly

Canada's defense strategy has historically relied heavily on the United States, assuming that American support was guaranteed. With military spending under 2% of GDP and personnel shortages, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) have been underfunded and underprepared. However, the recent political rhetoric from the U.S., particularly under President Trump, has shaken these long-held assumptions. As a result, Canada is reconsidering its military partnerships and is exploring options outside of American suppliers, indicating a potential shift in national defense policy that could ultimately weaken its military capabilities further.
Canada's reliance on the U.S. for defense has long shaped its military strategy and capabilities, but recent political shifts challenge this assumption.
The threats from the Trump administration have led Canada to reassess its defense commitments and explore alternatives to U.S. military suppliers.
