The way senator from Alaska sees it Ottawa needs to start pulling its weight when it comes to defence spending.
Republican Dan Sullivan says he still supports an additional $40-billion in help for Ukraine that Congress is expected to pass, but doesn’t feel it’s fair so much falls on America’s shoulders.
”Are you seeing a shift in our NATO allies to say, ‘You know what?  It’s time for us to pull our own weight here,’ ” said Sullivan.
”The Americans are doing it — once again … We still have NATO allies, Canada one, who just freeload.  And it’s getting a little tiring.”
Currently, the U.S. spend more on its military than all other allies combined.
Canada spends 1.36% of its Gross Domestic Product on the military.
The recent federal budget promises that will rise to about 1.5%.
