Canada plans to redirect billions in military spending from US defense companies to domestic manufacturers due to increasing hostility from the Trump administration. This shift is part of a broader strategy to distance Canada from the US, prompted by tariffs and suggestions of Canada becoming a US state. The new policy aims to boost Canadian military suppliers and increase arms exports.
