In today's episode, we focus on NATO's renewed call for European countries to increase defense spending ahead of a critical summit in Ankara. NATO's leadership has acknowledged recent growth in European defense budgets but stresses the need for deeper and sustained commitments to ensure collective security amid growing global tensions. We also cover Canada's plan to acquire advanced submarines, investments by major defense contractors in maritime technologies, and ongoing geopolitical and technological developments.
