El Banco Fubon: la demanda del 5% del gasto militar de Trump no es realista y hará que el hemisferio occidental sea menos seguro
Trump demands that allies spend 5% of GDP on defense. Canada's current expenditure is 1.25%, increasing it to 2% would add an extra 20 billion Canadian dollars per year. To reach 5%, it would add an extra 150 to 210 billion Canadian dollars per year, which Canada cannot afford. Economist Derek Holt believes that such a demand will make the Western Hemisphere less secure, less reliable, and more vulnerable. If Canada faces devastating tariffs and a budget deficit outbreak, its defense capacity will be even smaller.
