00:00:00.000 All right, what do you make of this latest move by the United States?
00:00:04.040 Well, from my perspective, this is a kind of a warning shot at the
00:00:07.800 Canadian government to actually get moving on, on defense and, and the
00:00:13.000 Canadian government's been, you know, taking its sweep, a good loving time
00:00:16.660 to do whatever it is that they're trying to do.
00:00:18.980 But the fact of the matter is the United States patients have run out and this has

00:00:54.900 It would be very difficult to find our position in NATO, compromise even further, or a position in the G7.
00:01:02.620 So this is kind of the, this is ladder, the round one in the ladder of escalation for the Americans to tell Canada, you know, enough's enough.
00:01:12.380 Get on with it.
