Canada applies to join UK-led military coalition

Canada seeks full membership in the 10-nation rapid-response coalition as officials pursue closer military cooperation with European partners.

  • On Wednesday, Prime Minister Mark Carney's office announced Canada has formally applied to join the British-led Joint Expeditionary Force to diversify its defense ties away from the United States.
  • Established in 2014, the JEF is a rapid-response military coalition of 10 NATO allies comprising Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
  • Canada has previously participated in multinational drills with the JEF but has never held permanent membership within the coalition until this formal application.
  • Carney met British Prime Minister Andy Burnham in Liverpool on Wednesday, where the leaders discussed defense industrial cooperation through the Global Combat Air Programme.
  • Officials are negotiating to merge proposed defense financing initiatives between Canada and the United Kingdom, though a final agreement may not emerge from this week's meetings.
