In this episode of the Expert Series podcast, we meet with Alexander Moens and Ryan Dean to reflect on last week’s NATO Summit in Washington D.C. and what it means for Canada’s credibility in the Alliance moving forward. During the Summit, Canada’s announcement it would be working to meet the 2% defence spending threshold was met with skepticism by allies. In today’s discussion, Moens and Dean suggest Canada focus its defence contributions more strategically on areas it can be most effective in, like the Arctic. We also discuss Canada and NATO’s role in a future confrontation with China, the path towards membership for Ukraine, and the impact a second Trump presidency may have on the Alliance.
