In this week’s episode of the Expert Series, CDA Institute board member and former Permanent Representative and Ambassador to NATO, Kerry Buck discusses the potential impact of a second Trump presidency on NATO and Canadian security.
Buck highlights the need for Canada to increase defence spending to meet NATO’s 2% GDP target and proposes diversifying security partnerships, particularly with European allies, discusses the importance of NATO for Canada’s security and economic interests, and advocates for a more strategic approach to foreign policy. Buck recommends a strategic review of Canada’s NATO approach and calls for a more active role in European security, ensuring Canada’s defence contributions remain strong regardless of US leadership.
