IQALUIT, Nunavut — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on March 18 a C$6 billion (S$5.5 billion) deal with Australia to develop an Arctic radar system, warning that Canada must take more responsibility for its defence as US priorities shift.
Mr. Carney made the announcement in Iqaluit, the capital of the Nunavut territory in the Canadian Arctic, on the final leg of his first official trip as prime minister since taking over from Mr. Justin Trudeau last week.
Mr. Carney — who has previously described the United States under President Donald Trump as a country Canada "can no longer trust" — characterized the radar deal as part of a broader effort to assert Canadian sovereignty over the Arctic.
"The world is changing," Mr. Carney said in Iqaluit, where he made a domestic stop after visits to Paris and London.
