过去十年间，加拿大的北约国防开支平均约占国内生产总值的1.3%，远低于美国3.3%的平均水平
2026年4月12日 美国东部时间7:00 / 福克斯新闻
加拿大总理马克·卡尼在唐纳德·特朗普总统就北约联盟军费开支向其施压后，为加拿大的北约承诺进行辩护，坚称渥太华达到了军费基准——尽管加拿大直到2025年才达到2%的国防开支目标。
近日在魁北克省蒙特雷吉的一场新闻发布会上，卡尼表示伊朗仍是中东及其他地区的“严重威胁”，并辩称加拿大正在履行其对北约的义务。
但加拿大多年来一直远低于该目标，直到2025年才达到北约2%的国防开支基准。卡尼承认，渥太华自冷战以来从未达到过这一标准，这凸显了他回击特朗普时的软肋。
“我要强调的是，就在几周前，我们自柏林墙倒塌以来首次达到了2%国防开支的北约承诺标准，”卡尼补充道。

特朗普曾就他认为的部分北约盟友在伊朗冲突中支持不力一事猛烈抨击这些盟友，并在Truth Social平台上警告称，该联盟“在我们需要他们时不在场，而如果我们再次需要他们，他们也不会在场”。
当一名记者追问特朗普威胁要惩罚北约成员国（包括厌战的德国和西班牙）时，卡尼吹嘘加拿大“履行了其北约承诺”。
北约2014-2025年国防开支报告显示，加拿大2014年的国防开支占国内生产总值的1.01%，2024年之前一直低于1.5%，2025年才达到2.01%。
北约秘书长称：在特朗普领导下世界“绝对”更安全
与此同时，北约秘书长马克·吕特赞扬特朗普推动盟友达到2%的军费基准，因为多个东欧国家明显增加了军费分摊额。
过去十年间，美国国防开支平均约占国内生产总值的3.3%，而加拿大约为1.3%。以美元计算，美国的国内生产总值也高于所有其他北约成员国。

希腊和英国一直是北约军费贡献排名前两位的国家，而加拿大、西班牙、比利时、捷克共和国和匈牙利均处于平均贡献水平较低的梯队。根据该报告数据计算，唯一低于这些国家的是卢森堡，其平均军费开支占国内生产总值的0.6%。

吕特此前因似乎称特朗普为“爸爸”而引发争议，但本周他表示该英译有误，并称在特朗普对以色列和伊朗都感到愤怒之际，他本意是称特朗普为一位强势的管教者形象。

“在荷兰语中，‘你父亲’的翻译是‘daddy’，我当时是说，没错，有时候‘爸爸’也会生气，所以我并不是想说‘他是我的爸爸’，”他谈及去年6月两人在海牙的一次会面时说道。
吕特是在被问及在特朗普与部分成员国产生矛盾之际，他是否仍将特朗普视为“爸爸”或盟友时作出上述回应的。

Carney casts himself as NATO defender amid Trump beef, despite Canada missing key benchmark for decades
Ottawa averaged roughly 1.3% of GDP in NATO defense spending over the past decade, far below the U.S. average of 3.3%
April 12, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney defended his country’s NATO commitments after being pressed over alliance spending by President Donald Trump, insisting Ottawa meets the benchmark – even though Canada only reached the 2% defense target in 2025.
Speaking recently at a press conference in Monteregie, Quebec, Carney said Iran remains a “grave threat” to the Middle East and beyond and argued Canada is meeting its obligations to the alliance.
But Canada only reached NATO’s 2% defense spending benchmark in 2025, after spending years well below the target. Carney acknowledged Ottawa had not hit that mark since the Cold War, underscoring the vulnerability in his pushback to Trump.
“I’ll underscore that just a few weeks ago that we’ve met for the first time since the fall of the Berlin Wall our NATO commitments in terms of 2% defense spending,” Carney added.

Trump has blasted some NATO allies over what he sees as weak support during the Iran conflict, warning on Truth Social that the alliance “wasn’t there when we needed them and they won’t be there if we need them again.”
When a reporter pressed that Trump threatened to punish NATO, including conflict-averse members Germany and Spain, Carney boasted that Canada “meet[s] its NATO commitments.”
NATO’s 2014-2025 defense expenditure report estimated Canada’s defense spending at 1.01% of GDP in 2014, and below 1.5% through 2024 before reaching 2.01% in 2025.
NATO CHIEF SAYS WORLD IS ‘ABSOLUTELY’ SAFER UNDER TRUMP
Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has praised Trump for pushing allies to meet the 2% benchmark, as several Eastern Bloc nations have noticeably increased their tithes.
Over the past decade, U.S. defense spending has averaged roughly 3.3% of GDP, compared with about 1.3% for Canada. The U.S. GDP is also a higher gross figure than all other NATO members in dollars.

Greece and the U.K. have been the top two countries consistently contributing to NATO’s funding, while Canada, Spain, Belgium, the Czech Republic and Hungary all sit in the lower tier on average. The only outlier below them is Luxembourg, which contributes an average 0.6% of GDP to NATO, according to calculations made from the report’s figures.

Rutte previously made waves for appearing to refer to Trump as “daddy,” but said this week the Dutch-to-English translation was flawed and that he meant to refer to the president as a strong disciplinarian-like figure at a time when Trump was angry at both Israel and Iran.

“In Dutch, you would say the translation of your father is ‘daddy’ and I would say hey, yeah, some time, Daddy has to be angry, so I wasn’t going to say [he’s my] daddy,” he said of a meeting between the two men in The Hague last June.
Rutte issued the response after being pressed on whether he still viewed Trump as “Daddy” or an ally amid the president’s issues with some member-nations.
