Prime Minister Mark Carney says NATO countries are already shifting toward higher defence spending, pointing to pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking in Ankara, Carney says Trump has “won the argument” on defence spending, a reference to Trump’s long-standing criticism that allies do not contribute enough to NATO’s military commitments and that the United States carries a disproportionate share of the burden. Carney adds that NATO members are bolstering their militaries, framing the changes as part of a broader response to U.S. demands and uncertainty about future U.S. involvement. One outlet reports that Carney links the spending shift to concerns over Trump potentially pulling the U.S. out of the alliance, while another emphasizes the role of Trump’s pressure in driving the shift. Across the accounts, the common theme is that NATO members are increasing defence efforts in response to U.S. pressure and rhetoric about alliance spending and participation. The sources describe Carney’s comments as indicating movement toward meeting NATO spending expectations, rather than providing new policy details or specific figures.
