Canada Picks Germany for Submarine Fleet

Canada selected Germany's ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems to build up to 12 new submarines, one of its largest ever defence purchases.

The decision marks a strategic shift away from US dependency and boosts NATO interoperability ahead of the alliance's Ankara summit.

The deal deepens defence ties between Canada and Europe as trade tensions with the US persist.

More than 40% of Canadian manufacturers are now considering moving production to the United States.
