Canada signs largest ever defence deal for submarines
Canada has signed the biggest defence procurement in its history, selecting German shipbuilder TKMS — in a joint bid with Norway — to supply 12 new submarines. Prime Minister Carney framed the deal as a response to a "dangerous and divided world" and timed the announcement to coincide with his appearance at a major NATO summit. South Korea's Hanwha Ocean was the losing bidder.
