Canada will abandon the purchase of 88 American fighter jets
Canada is looking for an alternative to the contract for purchasing American fighter jets. This is a kind of revenge for the tariffs imposed. Canada will not buy all 88 American fighter jets, Prime Minister Carney stated. A few days ago, he instructed to review the $13 billion contract for the delivery of 88 F-35s from the United States. The reason is that Canada is engaged in a trade war with the U.S. The Canadian Ministry of Defense stated that the contract remains in effect, and Ottawa has committed to funding the first 16 aircraft. However, Carney made it clear that Canada intends to seek other options. Diversification is needed, the Prime Minister explained. Canada spends 80% of its defense budget on American weapons.
