In light of escalating trade tensions with the United States, Canada is reconsidering its multi-billion dollar purchase of F-35 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin. Prime Minister Carney has ordered a comprehensive review of the deal as officials express concerns about over-reliance on U.S. security. The review comes amidst fears that potential tariffs from the U.S. could impact Canadian companies, including Bombardier, which has warned that the F-35 review might backfire. As alternatives are explored, including European models like the JAS-39 Gripen, Canada faces significant decisions about its defense strategy and the potential implications for NATO and NORAD alliances.
