Reduce dependence on the U.S., Canada strengthens Arctic defense.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported that on March 12, local time, Canadian Prime Minister Kenny officially announced a massive plan costing over 35 billion Canadian dollars during his inspection of Yellowknife, capital of the Canadian Northwest Territories. The plan aims to expand Canada's military presence in the Arctic region and significantly upgrade local civilian infrastructure to address the increasingly changing global security threats. Reuters reported that Canada has traditionally relied on the United States to assist in monitoring its Arctic territory, but President Trump's tariff policies and his repeated statements about "taking over Canada" have put immense pressure on the relationship between the two countries.
