Pierre Poilievre says NATO allies treated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau like a human pi帽ata at the leaders鈥� summit this week 鈥� but he still won鈥檛 commit to the alliance鈥檚 spending goal.
The Conservative leader says Canada has lost its place on the international stage under the Liberal government, and Trudeau lectures the world without doing his part.
The prime minister announced Thursday that he expects to hit NATO鈥檚 defence spending target in 2032 after facing days of pressure at the three-day meeting in Washington, D.C.
He did not share details about how Canada will get there.
Poilievre says the prime minister was just trying to save face among NATO allies who have agreed to spend at least the equivalent of two per cent of national gross domestic product on defence.
He says he isn鈥檛 committing to meet that target because he doesn鈥檛 make promises he can鈥檛 keep.
