Canada Expands European Defence Ties Amid NATO Diversification
Canada is reorienting its defence strategy towards Europe, with Prime Minister Mark Carney proclaiming that the international order will be rebuilt out of Europe. Canada has joined the EU’s Security Action for Europe procurement instrument and is considering reducing its dependence on the US-controlled F-35 supply chain. The country is also exploring defence partnerships with European nations, including Sweden and Poland, and has signed a Letter of Intent on bilateral cooperation with Poland. This development was reported by the NATO Association of Canada.
