“We actually expected the number to be slightly higher but because GDP has increased more than expected for a couple of allies, two fell below [the] two percent [target],”
I cannot see that as a bad news…
A lot of freeloaders in this alliance. And what’s saddening is that there are rich countries that are freeloading too. Whereas countries that are poor and face active threats (Estonia, Greece, Lithuania) all punch way above their weight.
The situation in Ukraine has proven that we can’t neglect this alliance. It’s time for some countries to pay what is expected from them to pay.
The Trudeau regime is an absolute freeloader on that list. Sadly, this has mostly also been the case with previous Canadian governments too.
