Canada to Buy $2.68 Billion in Air-Strike Weapons From Boeing, RTX

By Paul Vieira


Canada has agreed to purchase air-strike weaponry from Boeing and RTX as the U.S.'s northern neighbor ramps up military spending.

The U.S. Defense Department said the transaction, with a $2.68 billion price tag, would improve Canada's defense capability and strengthen its ability to contribute to continental security.

One of Prime Minister Mark Carney's initial moves upon winning power this year was to accelerate Canada's defense spending, which failed to meet requirements outlined by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and triggered widespread criticism from senior U.S. lawmakers and officials.

A representative for Canada's Department of Defence didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

The multibillion-dollar deal comes as the U.S. and Canada remain at an impasse in talks to resolve their tariff row. Carney's office said the prime minister is expected to briefly meet with President Trump on Friday in Washington, on the margins of the World Cup draw at the Kennedy Center.
