WASHINGTON, D. C. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to gather with NATO leaders Tuesday to mark the 75th anniversary of the defensive alliance as Russia escalates its aggression toward Ukraine.
The ongoing war will top the agenda of the three-day summit following Russian missile attacks Monday that left death and destruction, including at a large children's hospital in Kyiv.
Trudeau is expected to make forceful comments about the need to stay resolute in backing Ukraine. At the same time, Canadian officials will be facing questions about their own commitment to NATO when it comes to defence spending. Kirsten Hillman, Canada's ambassador to the U.S., has said she's faced some pressure on the issue from American officials, who expect every country to step up as much as it can.
Under Canada's new defence policy, the federal government estimates its defence spending will rise to 1.76 per cent of GDP by 2029-30. The senators called that profoundly disappointing.
