OTTAWA — Defence Minister Bill Blair said Monday that he’s ready to work with the incoming Donald Trump administration to speed up Canada’s timeline to meet its NATO alliance spending targets.

Canada committed last year to meet the NATO members’ pledge to spend at least two per cent of GDP on national defence, and in July Prime Minister Justin Trudeau committed to hitting that target by 2032.
