The Biden administration is expected to discuss upgrading the NORAD early-warning system, whose vulnerabilities were exposed when a suspected Chinese spy balloon crossed into both countries earlier this year.
OTTAWA, Ontario — Joe Biden arrives in Canada this week for his first presidential visit here as the two countries look to demonstrate unity and resolve in the face of growing threats from China, Russia and the world’s autocracies.
Biden’s speech Friday before the Canadian Parliament and his face-to-face meetings with Trudeau will serve as visual counterpoints to the Xi-Putin summit, showing two Western leaders working cooperatively to uphold democratic norms, analysts said. David L. Cohen, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, said in an interview this year: “There’s been a real recovery in the trust of the relationship. It’s not all there yet, and the fear has shifted a little bit.”
Canada has agreed to spend nearly $5 billion in the coming years to help modernize the system, but the U.S. would like to see a bigger commitment, analysts said. Focused on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and China's growing influence on the world stage, the U.S. wants Canada to step in and help end a human catastrophe unfolding in the Caribbean. Haiti is at risk of becoming a failed state. Kidnappings, murders and rapes have been rising as the country reels from gang violence.
