Mark Carney pledged to ramp up military spending by £17 billion to protect against “America’s threats to our very sovereignty” if he wins Canada’s general election.
Mr Carney, Canada’s prime minister, said Ottowa must “prepare” in light of Donald Trump’s repeated threats to annex the country and absorb it as the US’ 51st state.
“In this crisis we have to prepare for America’s threats to our very sovereignty. They want our land, our resources, they want our water, they want our country,” Mr Carney said as he released the Liberal Party manifesto.
