Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised to more than double the size of Canada’s contribution to a NATO mission in Latvia, committing $2.6-billion in funding over three years and up to 2,200 Canadian troops for persistent deployment.
“This is the way forward in modern defence,” he said. “Almost a dozen countries from across NATO are co-operating, training and working alongside each other and learning valuable lessons from each other that make our collective defence stronger.” Trudeau, who also met with Latvian President Edgars Rinkvis Monday, said the additional personnel will reinforce and enhance Canadian land, maritime and air capabilities and support special operations in central and eastern Europe.
