The U.S. president has convinced other NATO members, including Canada, to invest more in defence and accept “shifting burdens” within the alliance, Prime Minister Mark Carney said at an alliance summit in Turkey. Former president Barack Obama wanted that kind of rebalancing, he said, but Trump has achieved it. (The Logic)

Talking point: The debate within NATO is now over which countries are going to take responsibility for what, Carney said; with Russian aggression turning the Arctic into a potential front rather than a secondary flank, Canada can co-ordinate action there with the Nordic countries, Germany, France and the Baltics. But he also emphasized that NATO is a defensive alliance, not an offensive one, implicitly rejecting Trump’s complaints that NATO members didn’t join the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran. Trump, meanwhile, ordered an end to U.S. trade with Spain and reiterated his goal of taking Greenland away from Denmark.
