New Canadian prime minister announces mega spending plan to assert sovereignty over Arctic
Canada and Australia have agreed to a C$6 billion deal to develop a military radar system in the Arctic, capable of detecting hypersonic missiles. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney cited increasing security threats and a shift away from US reliance, particularly due to tensions with the Trump administration and its trade policies. The Australian-developed over-the-horizon radar will provide early warning coverage, replacing the outdated North Warning System under the NORAD agreement.
