Seven years ago, at the London NATO summit, Trudeau misinformed Trump about Canada's defence spending being 1.4% of GDP, which was our target for 2024-5, not our actual spending, which was 1.3% or less. And he isn't even going to match that projected estimate. You can't believe anything Trudeau says about spending. These differences look small, but when you are talking about 0.1% shares of GDP you are talking about billions of dollars.
