Canadian Prime Minister vows to increase military spending to counter potential threat from the United States

Canadian Prime Minister Carney promised that if he wins the election, he will increase military spending by 17 billion pounds to prevent "the threat of the United States to our sovereignty".

Carney said, given Trump's repeated threats to annex Canada and make it the 51st state of the United States, Ottawa must "be prepared". "In this crisis, we must prepare for the threat of the United States to our sovereignty. They want our land, our resources, our water, and they want our country," Carney said.

He also said, "Trump is trying to undermine us so that the United States can take control of Canada, but this will never happen. Canada is not the United States, nor will it ever become one, but we need to do more to recognize this. We need to formulate plans to deal with this new reality." (Source: The Times)
