I met with General Carignan today, Chief of Defence Staff, about the hard work ahead to make Canada secure.

Together as Canadians, weโ€™re going to meet our 2% NATO spending target by 2030, modernize NORAD, strengthen our Arctic presence, and ensure we build a strong, resilient Canada.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.
