Canada is in talks with the European Union to join a large-scale military initiative, a drastic step that could end the country's reliance on US-made weapons.
The move comes as the threat of Trump's takeover and a escalating trade war have forced Ottawa to reassess its defense alliances.
Canadian officials are considering acquiring European-made fighter jets, including Sweden's Saab Gripen, and may even reconsider buying the US-made F-35.
At the same time, the Arctic defense pact with Australia shows Canada's efforts to increase its military independence.
With the EU increasing arms production and the US increasingly distancing itself from Ukraine, Canada's decision is not just a matter of defense but could reshape the global balance of power.
