As canada and European protection look like a partner, what does it look like? – national

As the President of the US Donald Trump Continues to doubt the future NATO The military alliance is looking for a partner with the European Union on defense in Canada.

Look more closely in the transatlantic relationship that manages this great turn.

Trump said Washington would not defend NATO allies – a danger that violates the entire part of the Alliance, defense policy analyst Federico Santopinto.

“Europeans feel very sensitive without the United States,” he said.

According to him, Russia’s occupation in Ukraine has been announced how much the continent depends on the expenditure of America’s defense.

European peoples have been about the United States about military assistance for Kiev and the lack of Europe that Washington has provided Ukraine’s invalid intelligence and intelligence.

As excited by the US and Germany – Moscow, Ukraine’s targets in Russia prevented the use of American and German to hit deep targets, many EU nations have caused their hands in some future confrontation.

“The war in Ukraine has taught everyone that when war, you must be sovereign over your hands,” Santopinto said.

In addition, many European protection market fragments. Many people, especially in the air defense, have their own military equipment, leaving the capacity gaps on the continent.

There is no EU army, but can help build the continent’s military areas.

Canadian officials wanted to rely on American gears – especially on the sale of “toned low” versions of allies of Trump, less than US planes in March

For more than a year, Canada and the EU were in talks on the possible “Security and Defense Partnership”.

Brussels signed such deals with Japan and South Korea, but they mainly focused on the co-exercise. The agreement with Canada will include defense procurement, according to the authorities on both sides of the Atlantic.

In March, in a white paper reflecting the EU defense industry, the European Union said that “our cooperation with Canada should be strengthened and should be further developed.” “

Christian Leuupecht, a political science professor at Queen University and Royal Military College, said that “European companies are already in Canada, and investing in Canada, including a large and widely investment in defense.”

In March, the European Commission opened a plan to protect for the equivalent of 1.25 trillion to defense for five years.

This is not a subsidy program, and allow member states to get more debt to protect against the impact of the EU’s excessive deficiencies.

Santopinto said that the EU decided to reduce the costs due to the high price of debt expenditures, he said no more debt.

Again, Rearm, for Europe, a credit program for a security campaign or a secure credit program offers a credit program that will allow countries to buy or build joint weapons outside the European Union.

The program is still being discussed and can only allow such partnerships with the countries that sign security and defense agreements only with the EU. Canada has no such agreement yet.

Prime Minister Mark Carney was selected on a platform that promises to “participate in the European plan again to support the European security to support European security again.

Leuprecht would be a lifetime for a Canadian economy that fights American tariffs to the “even part of that money” was spent on the realm of “even part of that money.”

Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly, a month ago “In the coming months” he said he was waiting for a defense work with Europe. He said Montreal and Davie could be very good for aerospace and artificial intelligence companies near the city of Quebec, Shipbuilding.

Reports appeared in the last months of a split in connection with how a reliable loan program between EU members, and can be used to shop with Canada and England

France called on the defense to Europe for years to be “strategic autonomy”. France, Santopinto, France – a large domestic weapons industry, forced to make the most or own military equipment in France, Europe.

France tried to work around the American law that restricts the export of weapons produced by a certain USA.

Nations, such as Santopinto, Poland and Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, preferred to see that the United States continues to take an active role in European protection.

Other EU nations, including Germany and the Netherlands, were openly open to coordinate the EU’s military supply chains with industrial countries.

Separately, Germany and Norway offered a partner with Canada to buy new submarines – Ottawa’s project that will previously respond to ships and respond to NATO spending targets. Norway is not a member of the EU.

Santopinto said the EU would like to use the traffic jam of the market to determine military procurement standards that will facilitate the operations of European armies together.

Now stretching

• Westjet stops 9 US routes due to low demand

• Trump, tempers because the surgeon hit the Composition of Doctor for General

“It is a way for the European Union to be a stronger actor in the field of arms,” ​​the Industrial Defense Policy is an alternative to the dominance of the United States.

EU, economically and in other global areas – for example, websites used standards as they want to accumulate individual information.

Leuprecht said that Canada can offer a place to produce weapons with cheaper energy in Europe and offer a place to access the information centers required to manage some military technology.

“This is an opportunity to strengthen relations with Russia to strengthen relations with the European partners and our European partners,” he said.

Ottawa’s allies went to Canada to reach the defense spending instructions for two percent of Canada, two percent of the total domestic product of Canada – the target Ottawa did not meet since the construction of an alliance in 2006.

This pressure monastery because Russia has launched a war against Ukraine -, especially Trump, has begun to start not to protect the US allies that do not meet the target.

Fearing the territorial in Ukraine, Moscow will explode as Latvia – as part of the sensitive mission of Canada – European countries are already discussing NATO’s goal by 2.5 or three percent.

EU officials are often called in Canada’s closest partners and shared the values. Ottawa is already on EU programs as PESCO, which allows some defense industry cooperation.

However, LeuPrecht noted that European leaders are more calm about Trump’s conversation in Canada’s annexation.

“Stunning silence … He says a lot about the appearance of Europeans on the reliability of Canada,” he said.

LeuPrecht blames the silence that Canada cannot export energy such as inadequate defense costs and liquefied natural gas. He said he was suspected, so one third of the EU did not completely ratify the block of the block with Canada.

The Canadian economy is as large as Russia, but Moscow is more effective to develop strategic goals.

“Europe has a wide range of beliefs

“Here is an opportunity to demonstrate to Europe because we are ready to be a reliable partner in the past for Canada.”

The last month is not due to the latest official joint report on EU-Canadian relations.

“Canada and the EU recognize NATO as the main collective defense organization for the members of the Union and continue to promote cooperation between the experience and experience of each organization between the EU and NATO,” the government reads the government report.

Leupecht said that the EU’s white paper completed NATO, that Europe demand more than US Washington’s security guarantees. This regulation said he was interested in Canada.

“If the European Union goes alone, the value of Canada’s cost to Europe will be reduced to the seduction.”

Santopinto said he wanted to help Europe maintain NATO in Canada. “Despite this strange and wrong attitude of the United States, they could still show that there is a democratic Western front,” he said.

All of these issues are expected to be on the agenda at the NATO summit in June, and the participation of CARNEY and Trump. “It may be the most important NATO summit,” said Leupectecht.
