A  bipartisan group of 23 U.S. senators is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to make good on Canada’s commitment to meet its 2 percent NATO spending target.

Canada is a “valued ally,” the senators said in a May 23 letter to the prime minister, but it is failing to uphold its “commitment to ensure a stronger, sustainable NATO.”
