A senator and supporter of Donald Trump said Friday that the US president-elect would laugh at Canada’s current military spending plans and said the country needs to do more.

Idaho Republican Sen. Jim Risch, ranking member of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, made the remarks at the start of the annual Halifax International Security Forum that attracts defense and security officials from Western democracies.

According to NATO figures, Canada was projected to spend 1.33 percent of GDP on its military budget in 2023, below the 2 percent target that NATO countries have set for themselves.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said Canada will meet the alliance’s goals by 2032.

“With all due respect. We’re good friends with Canada and they say, ‘Yeah, we’re working on this.’ We say, ‘What does that mean? And they say, ‘Well, we’re looking at 2032,'” Risch said during a panel discussion.

“If Trump was in this room, you’d get a big rant from him in 2032. It’s got to be better than that. It’s got to be really, really better than that.”

Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair said his government knows it needs to increase defense spending, but he must make sure Canada gets “good value” for its investments.
