In this video, we examine a historic moment on February 26th, 2026, when British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced to the House of Commons that the United Kingdom is formally endorsing Canada's Alternative Security Partnership Fund proposal, committing $18 billion to the initiative, and establishing a bilateral UK-Canada defense coordination framework independent of U.S.-led structures. The decision represents the most significant fracture in the U.S.-UK special relationship in over a century and confirms that the Western alliance is fundamentally restructuring around reduced U.S. leadership.
