Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, has ordered a review of the country's planned purchase of 88 U.S.-made F-35 fighter jets.
The decision comes amid concerns over trade tensions with the U.S., particularly in light of former President Donald Trump's trade policies. The contract, originally secured by Lockheed Martin in 2023, had beaten out competitors from Sweden and Boeing. Canada's move follows a similar announcement from Portugal, which is also reconsidering its F-35 purchase.
The review could impact Canada's defense strategy and its relationship with U.S. defense contractors.
