Canada signs $1 billion defence contract with Australia. [View all]

BREAKING: AMERICA LAST: Canadian PM Carney SNUBS Trump, and signs $1.75 BILLION deal with Australia for radar tech — instead of U.S. systems!

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just made it pretty clear that the United States under Trump is no longer their go-to trade partner by signing a massive $1.75 billion deal with Australia to build an Australian-designed long-range Over-the-Horizon Radar system for Arctic defense.

Announced Monday, the deal announced Monday deepens defense ties between the two Commonwealth nations and marks Australia’s largest-ever defense export.

Canadian and Australian officials hailed their new “strategic partnership” as they stand “shoulder-to-shoulder” as the world adjusts to “new strategic and economic realities.”
