Mark Carney: Russia is a direct adversary.
The threats we face are changing rapidly, from hybrid warfare to hypersonic missiles and autonomous warfare. 1/
Carney: Burdens are shifting away from the United States, towards Canada and Europe.
Before I became Prime Minister 18 months ago, we spent 1.5% of GDP on defense. It now goes to 4% in the next two years. 2/
Carney: We just completed our largest defense procurement, with submarines. We announced it two days ago.
Capacities are building on a regional basis. Canada focuses on North American security and the crescent running through the Arctic into the Baltics. 3/
Carney: We are extending our Operation Reassurance in Latvia.
That is the approach of a modern NATO. That is the approach that meets the new threats we face. 4/
Carney: I spoke at length with President Trump on Sunday. The President wants that shift in burden.
Obama wanted that shift too. It is happening, the momentum is picking up, and it will proceed. 5X
