Swiss lawmakers and officials have expressed growing concerns over the potential cancellation or reduction of the F-35 fighter jet deal with the United States, primarily due to the imposition of a 39% tariff that has been introduced amid ongoing trade tensions. Swiss politicians are pushing to abandon the $9.1 billion contract, with many fearing that the rising costs associated with these tariffs will make the acquisition of the F-35A jets unaffordable. The situation is further complicated by a broader reluctance among U.S. allies to commit to purchasing these aircraft, with the current environment prompting debates on defense spending and procurement strategies. Despite the challenges, the Swiss defense minister has indicated some openness to finalizing the deal, although fears remain about escalating expenses and the potential for a full-blown revolt against the F-35 program in Europe.
