After years of falling short, Canada has finally achieved the NATO target of spending 2% of its gross domestic product on defense under the leadership of Defense Minister John Carney. This milestone comes as NATO member states face pressure to increase military spending amid growing global security threats.
Canada's defense budget has long been a source of consternation within the NATO alliance, with successive governments failing to meet the 2% target. However, Carney, who assumed the role of Defense Minister in 2019, has made it a priority to bolster Canada's military capabilities and meet its international commitments.
