Trump and Whitmer Unite for New Fighter Jets at Michigan Air Base
In a surprising display of bipartisanship, President Trump and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced the arrival of 21 new F-15EX fighter jets to Selfridge Air National Guard Base. This development marks a significant investment in the base, which will replace the aging A-10 aircraft. During the visit, Trump greeted Whitmer warmly and praised her contributions, highlighting their improved relationship despite political differences. The announcement has been embraced by Whitmer as a major victory for Michigan, though some Democrats express concern over her collaboration with the Republican president. The new jets are expected to enhance the operational capabilities of the Michigan National Guard and secure the future of the airbase.
