Canadian Prime Minister Acknowledges Trump's Success on NATO Spending

Carney stated Trump has 'won the argument' on NATO spending, prompting allies to take greater responsibility.
NATO leaders agreed to a new goal of 5% of GDP on defense by 2035, up from the previous 2% benchmark.
Canada plans to increase its defense spending to 4% of GDP by the end of the decade, up from 1.4% when Carney took office.
