The bipartisan group of 23 U.S. senators said they are 'concerned and profoundly disappointed' that Canada is not on track to meet its NATO and NORAD commitments.

target of spending at least two per cent of GDP on defence, a benchmark Ottawa is not expected to reach this decade.

“As we approach the 2024 NATO Summit in Washington, D.C., we are concerned and profoundly disappointed that Canada’s most recent projection indicated that it will not reach its two percent commitment this decade,” the letter reads. British Foreign Secretary David Cameron earlier this month said the spending target should be raised even further, to 2.5 per cent of GDP, to meet the current global threat environment.
