Canada seeks to join UK-led military group
The Canadian government has announced that it has officially applied to join the United Kingdom-led Combined Joint Expeditionary Force, which includes ten NATO countries. This step comes as part of Canada's efforts to expand its defense cooperation with Europe and reduce its dependence on the United States. The force focuses on the security of Northern Europe, the Baltic region, and the North Atlantic, and includes countries such as Denmark, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Norway. The announcement was made after a meeting between the Canadian Prime Minister and his British counterpart, during which they also discussed strengthening cooperation in the defense industry and developing advanced fighter jets. As a precedent, Canada joined the fighter development program as an observer in July 2026.
