U.S. is watching, but won’t interfere with Ottawa’s defence spending plans, ambassador says / National Post
Sunday, June 8, 2025, 1:21 pm

L’ambassadeur des États-Unis au Canada maintient que son pays ne dictera pas à son voisin du nord le montant qu’il doit consacrer à sa défense, mais il rappelle qu’il surveille la situation de près.
Pete Hoekstra says he's focused on win-win policies for both countries and not the prospect of Canada becoming an American state
